Hi,

I am a newbie in Perl, used it only to work with strings in the past, but now I am doing a MSc work that makes massive usage of threads and sockets.

My goal is to pass a socket handle to a thread, so the thread can recv data.

I have read something about shared objects (where IO::Socket is not available to pass). Is there a way to pass a socket handle to a thread?

I create the socket: 
    $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(
              LocalAddr=>'localhost',
              LocalPort=>$port,
              Type=>SOCK_STREAM,
              Proto=>'tcp',
              Listen=>10
              );

sub protocol($server)
{
    while(1)
    {
        if ($server->connected())
        {
            print "Socket is here :)";
        }
        $server->recv($data,1024);
        @recvData = split(/:/,$data);
        print $data;        
        print $recvData;    
    }
}

while(1)
{
    print "UP\n";
    $server->accept();
    print $server->connected();
    $p = threads->create(\&protocol => $server);

}
