Re: Intercepting UDP broadcasts

Update: UDP not TCP!

~~Don't you need to listen() and accept() before you can recv()? Or is that all taken care of under the covers of IO::Socket?~~

No, this is a UDP socket. With UDP, you don't have end-to-end connection (like with TCP) - just datagrams being delivered. So there are no listen() or accept() steps involved. In fact, if you include a Listen option in the creation of the socket, the creation will fail. Abigail	[reply]
