Hello again NetWallah,

That is true I derived the code from this website, just to create a sample of test code. I am working with a bigger part of code SNTP Client/Server V2 RFC. I am still looking for ways of improving it, and I was looking for your answer. How to specify the PeerAddr and LocalPort so I can make it connect with my public IP not only with my local.

I think I understood what you said about:

The BROADCAST is a way to send data to all listeners on the subnet. To do that, you use a special broadcast IP addressto SEND data.

More or less this an answer that covers my question. I was not able to figure out why and how we could use PeerAddr  => inet_ntoa(INADDR_BROADCAST) but thanks to you I have an idea now.

Again thank you for your time and effort, you helped me a lot with my problem.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
