Hello beanscake,

I think you can find more here: How to find out whether socket is still connected?.

But it would be good to provide us with more information, such as:

Sample of current output.

Operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac).

etc. anything you think relevant that can affect your question.

Update:

I executed your code and I got the following error:Connect failed: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused

I think you need to start with some basics first. Read first this sort tutorial Perl, Sockets and TCP/IP Networking that I used the sample code provided under:

Server:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings;
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (
    LocalHost => '127.0.0.1',
    LocalPort => '7070',
    Proto => 'tcp',
    Listen => 1,
    Reuse => 1,
    );
die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;

my $new_sock = $sock->accept();

while(<$new_sock>) {
    print $_;
}
close($sock);

Client:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings;
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (
    PeerAddr => '127.0.0.1',
    PeerPort => '7070',
    Proto => 'tcp',
    );
die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;
print $sock "Hello there!\n";
close($sock);

Output on Server:

Hello there!

Hope this helps.
