Please help, oh wise Perl Monks.

I have this one program that sends information to the server via TCP/IP (this is a Windows-based executable program). I tell it the IP number or the URL, and it then sends the information. This program can work with other programs of its' kind, using IP numbers as well. But I need to make a PERL program that will take the information from that program and sending it to other programs, i.e. making a server program of sorts. So I am thinking of using IO::Socket::INET to handle the data. All I need to do is make it listen for the information. But I don't know if the program has to be running for this to work.

Could any of you guys help out? The server that I am using, BTW, is Linux based.
