in reply to bidirectional client

My hunch is you're lucky to be getting that. You probably shouldn't have removed the auto-flush line. Of course we don't know if you're trying to bicirectional line-by-line (a la expr or cat, autoflush is a must for this kind of talking). If not and you're only doing something like HTTP/1.1 you still really ought to have autoflush but it's not the same. As you would get a multi-line output from child per single input from you (as opposed to one-to-one which is what you don't specify).

    I am not sure. I DID test it with autoflush turned on. same result. (IIRC, autoflush by default is on in recent IO::Socket). The server side in this case is sorta like SMTP.

      As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
      Is some.com what you are actually trying to connect to? I get connection refused (I'd rather not mock up my own server that may or may not be anything like what is in your environment). A sample transcript (data entered on STDIN) might prove useful as well.

      I changed PeerPort to 80 and enter GET / HTTP/1.0 and receive multiple lines as a response.

        to test it on httpd server is not good, because you only entered command once(get...), please try it on a smtp server(supposedly you should be able to interact with the server)
