I'd like to try this for a project I'm working on. However, I'm not clear about using it.

That is to say, I'm not sure how to invoke it. How do I invoke the script and have it stay running to exchange form updates between the script on the server, and the web page on the client?

Once invoked, how do you shut it down once that page is done with it?

I'm not new to Perl, but I am new to Sockets of any kind. I have a project with a page that holds scheduling information and it needs to be accessible/updateable by more than one user at a time.

Even if you can just point me to a good resource that explains the above, I'm happy to do the legwork. I just haven't read anything yet that answers those questions. Even the popular socket.io doesn't do much to explain that part of it. It only gives examples of a pseudo-server running from the client, not from a web server.

Thank you for your time.
