Hi Monks!
I'm trying to run this code in a Win98 box (using ActivePerl v5.6.1 build 626).
It *would* be something like a proxy server. I'm using LWP to fetch the objects for debug reasons, but the final code will connect to hosts via a normal socket.
What's the problem with the code? It crashes PERL.EXE (yes, the "this program executed an illegal operation....") when the second or third connection comes...
I've tried on a NT box without success..
The code:

#-------------------------------------------------
#! perl

use IO::Socket;
use LWP::Simple;
$listen_socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => 8080,
                      Listen => 10,
                      Proto => 'tcp',
                      Reuse => 1);
die unless $listen_socket;
warn "Servidor iniciado. Aguardando conexoes... \n\n";
while (my $connection = $listen_socket->accept)
{   
    die unless defined ($child = fork());
    if ($child == 0) {
        obtem_request($connection);
        $connection->close();
        exit;
    } 
    else { 
        warn "Conexao recebida...\n";
        $connection->close();
    }
}

sub obtem_request {   
    my $socket = shift;
    my $temp, $header;
    while ($status = read ($socket, $temp, 1)) {
        $header .= $temp;
        if ($header =~ /\r\n\r\n/ or $header =~ /\n\n/) {
            print $header;
            last;
        }
    }

    $header =~ /GET (.*?) HTTP\/1\.0/s;
    $page = get($1);
    print "Fetching $get\n\n";
        
    print $socket 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'."\r\n\
+r\n";
    print $socket $page;
}
