Greetings,

Perlipc,as advise above, is good reading.

Also, one of your Perl books should be the perl cookbok from O'Reilly (the Ram). Check out chapter 17.

Other bibliography (gleaned from the Ram book):

The socket , bind , connect , and gethostbyname functions in Chapter 3 of Programming Perl and in perlfunc (1);
the documentation for the standard Socket, IO::Socket, and Net::hostent modules; the section on "Internet TCP Clients and Servers" in Chapter 6 of Programming Perl and in perlipc (1);
Unix Network Programming , by W. Richard Stevens, published by Prentice Hall (1992);

Finally, part of the solution to your problem is called "print"....:-).


Cheers,
alf

You can't have everything: where would you put it?
