Not really. There are some brief examples of how to use socket type things in perlipc, but building a relay server is definately beyond the scope of perlipc. It doesn't really go into non-blocking sockets, and the socket server example is pretty brief.

The best thing to do is grab some code which already does similar stuff, get familiar with it, and then tweak it. I'm sure there are some socket tutorials around, I just don't know of any. Try looking at C ones, since networking in perl and C is almost identical.
