Consider this:

<CODE>
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
 use strict;
 use Socket;
 use FileHandle;

 my $port = 11111;
 socket(SOCKET, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, (getprotobyname('tcp'))[2]);
 bind  (SOCKET, pack('Sna4x8', AF_INET, $port, "\0\0\0\0"));
 listen(SOCKET, 3);
 NEW_SOCKET->autoflush();
 SOCKET->autoflush();
 while (1) {
     accept(NEW_SOCKET, SOCKET);  
     my $pid;
     if (! ($pid = fork)) {
	 my $xxx = read_query(\*NEW_SOCKET);
     select(NEW_SOCKET);
     print "Port 11111 is available on my server\n";
     print "Querystring is: <br>$xxx</br>\n";
       close NEW_SOCKET;
       exit;
    }
 }


sub read_query
{
    my ($client_stream) = @_;

    my $whole_query = <$client_stream>;

    $whole_query =~ m{GET .*?\?(\S+)};
    
    return $1;
}
