How do I do multicasting without using the IO::Socket::Multicast module?

kchhabria has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all: Can anyone suggest me a way to do multicasting on a unix box/windows without using IO::Socket::Multicast module since I am having difficult installing the Multicast module on windows as well as on cgywin. It complains about a missing IO::Interface file. Can anybody pls offer me some help? Thanks a lot, Kavita Chhabria

It complains about a missing IO::Interface file. Why not just install the IO::Interface module? -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]

check out Net::Inet it will require a good knowledge of multicast to use though. You are better off just getting IO::Socket:Multicast to install on windows. -Waswas	[reply]
