PERL SOCKET to Servlet slow comm. (No Flushing Maybe)

cormacmul has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So i have this piece of code, it is working and everything but its a bit slow. I am using IO::Socket and setting $socket->autoflush(); Then i print my output to the socket and after this i go $document=(join('',<$socket>); print "DOC IS:$document\n"; Which i read in some perl FAQ should work for flushing. Does anyone have any hint on what might be going wrong. Or a fairly indepth tutorial wwhere i might find out about socket stuff Cheers Cormac

Your join waits for the remote server to close the connection, perhaps it is waiting for something else from you before timing out the connection.	[reply]
