in reply to New at socket programming

This looks suspiciously like homework to me...As a teacher, who gives this sort of homework, I can not approve of your idea to have the monks doing it for you...

Do a little more work by yourself. As some monks sugested, try at leas putting in use strict and a -w after the shebang.

Also, read the doc on Socket and IO::Socket::INET. Finaly, you could look at the wonderful Network Programming with Perl by L.D.Stein.

    Hello. My question is indeed sort of like homework but I'm no longer a student. My company creates wireless applications for GSM telcos. Recently, because of excessively large SMS volumes, we've been requested to directly connect to the SMSC (Short Message Service Center), a machine designed by CMG. I posed my question to solicit additional information regarding the stability of such a connection. Thanks.
