Great! That would be perfect! I'm trying to make a nice perl/tk client on windows for a linux mp3 server next to my stereo stuff. Windows doesn't like "fork", so thats why I'm trying to use the IO::Select. I have found a great server example, and it works great for dealing with multiple clients, but I can't seem to get it to reply back to the clients that I've tried to write. Do you want to see what I have so far? Let me know. Thanks again!
