Hello tangent,

That is true, well there is only one way to find out Experimentation :D.

Well beanscake says that on his OS it works fine, but I am getting and error when I experiment with his code. So I assume that this is only part of the code.

Please beanscake provide us with an update on your question with full text code (complete Server and Client), so we can experiment more. I assume that the code provided is not complete since my test is failing and you are saying that on your OS is not.

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