Sorry for the complexity of this problem

In PerlIPC, in section "Internet TCP Clients and Servers", the multithread server behaves weirdly with perl on a windows machine:
- first of all, the -T flag causes the following error: 'Too late for "-T" option at testmultserver.pl line 1.'
so I removed it.
- the fact that the global $EOL doesn't have a "my" declaration in front of it, causes the following error:
'Global symbol "$EOL" requires explicit package name at testmultserver.pl line 6.'
so I added my in front of it.
- the line: exec '/usr/games/fortune'
had to be removed (i'm not on a unix machine)
- now that I have the multithread server working, the client runs and prints out the appropriate message, but it never quits (this is my big problem)

Does anbody have any idea what could be wrong with the multithread server? is there a simpler example of a multithread server that accepts simultaneous client connections?

Thanks
