Could you fellows please help?

I am working on a PERL program that recieves information at a certain port (say port 2000), and sends it to various peers. For the time being, though, I'm just trying to get it to take in the information and send it back to the program.

What I would like to do is allow another program (different from PERL), to connect to it, then have the information from that connection "branched" to other programs connected it. Is there a way to do this? For the time being I'm using IO::Socket::INET. Will this module work? 

#!/usr/bin/perl

#The usual modules
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;

#Make a constant connection (may have to use the "constant" module)
use constant GOING => '66.78.26.27';
use constant PORT => '2000';

#Create a new object and set up the protocol to Transmittion Control P
+rotocol and the Local Port to PORT.
my $Socky = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => 'tcp',
                                                   PeerPort => PORT,
                                                   PeerAddr => GOING);

while (1) { #This always returns true, thus giving a continual loop.
    Send_It(<$Socky>);
       }

sub Send_It {
    my @All_of_me = @_;
    $Socky->send(@All_of_me);
    }

exit;
