Thank you, very much.

Not knowing any better, I started with the Tkx version of Tk. So, without rewriting your example, it's not going to run.
I guess I can install the Tk package (new to that also, don't know if installing Tk will break Tkx (and what I've scruffed together so far--2 weeks of learning :) )).

I would upload the working program, but it's now at about 1500 lines... so should I zip the program up and post it? It's probably not what an experienced Perl programmer would create.

I have started reading 'Network Programming with Perl, Lincoln Stein'. Perhaps that will enable me to resolve my obtuseness.

I'm not giving up! The first version was in HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript. The problem there was that WebSockets (and Flash) have a handshaking overhead before they will open a plain socket. Security reasons it looks like. (so poof, there went 4 days of work... should have nailed down the comm part first).

So anyway, thanks for the response.... will installing Tk break Tkx?
