Ok, so i have this code:
use IO::Socket::INET;

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (
        LocalPort => 6547,
        Listen    => 10,
        Proto     => 'tcp',
        Reuse     => 1
    );
print "Waiting For Requests!!\n";    

while(my $client = $sock->accept()){
    
        print "Connection!\n";
        
        
        my $blah=<$client>;
        handle($blah,$client);
        $client->close();
    
}


sub handle{
    my ($data,$client) = @_;
    chomp($data);
    my ($command, $param) = split '<div>',$data;
    
    print "$command\n";
    if($command == 'start'){
        print $client "Welcome to the game: $param\n";
    }
    if($command == 'newUser'){
        print $client "$param Has been added to the database!!\n";
    }

}

So, if i send "start" to the server, it will return "Welcome to the game: ", but if i send "newUser<div>username", the server returns "Welcome to the game: username" and sometimes it returns "username has been added to the database, and sometimes i'll return both!!!

I put that print statment before the conditionals to see if $command was right, and yes it is, it prints the right parameter i send.

Please HELP! thanks.
