Greetings Monks! I'm new as a user but not new to PM or programming (it has helped countless times in recent weeks during some tough projects!) and I am hoping that the wealth of knowledge here can assist with a problem I can't seem to wrap my head around!

I am trying to create workflow of sorts which uses socket connections to relay extracted MySQL data from localhost to LAN server and vice versa. I was successfully able to create each individual .pl file (8 files in all) and extract information through each file as necessary.

The part I am stuck on regards the actual socket connection for them to relay the data to the server. My concern is creating a bottleneck of sorts if (in the worst case scenario) all 8 files were to try sending data over the socket at the same time. Is it possible/sensible to create a separate file just containing socket information and allow that socket file to handle the relay for all files? If so, how could it be achieved? Is there another method that makes more sense?
