How do I bind to a particular Interface ?

niley has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: ⭐ (network programming)

When creating connections to servers, how can I use a particular interface to make the outgoing connection?
I currently create connections with the following code:

IO::Socket::INET->new( PeerAddr => $Remote, PeerPort => $Port, Proto =
+> 'tcp' );
[download]

All pointers in the right direction appreciated.

You can use IO::Socket::INET's `LocalAddr` property to force the packets out a specific interface.	[reply] [d/l]

`use IO::Scoket; $socket= new IO::Socket( LocalAddr=>$host, LocalPort=>$port, ..... #other arguments ) or die "socket not created\n";` [download] the `$host` is the IP of the interface you want and the `$port` is the port number you want the service to run....	[reply] [d/l] [select]
