Hello,

thank you for pointing me to POE, but I'm afraid this is not solving the problem.

I am new to network programming under Win32, but have got a little bit more experience under Linux or Solaris, esp. with preforking servers and - more in a cargo-cult-manner than with real understanding - POE.

Some months ago, I played around a little bit with the Multiplexing Server described at How to Write a Chat Server and it was running fine under windows, too.
Some months ago, I bought the book "Network Programming with Perl", and as I arrived at multiplexing Clients, I thought about writing a client to it (just for fun), threw in the code under Win2k and wondered why it didn't work. I ran it under Linux - no problems. Then I read some documentation again (IO::Select, IO::Socket), and wondered much more.

This question is not really important for me, but I am very curious how this problem can be solved.

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"
