Hello fellow Monks,

I was just wondering if anyone has used the Net::SOCKS
module. I'm considering using it for a couple of purposes,namely being
I'm tired of having to keep updating SocksCAP all the time.

Just curious as to what experiences some of my fellow monks have had with it
and specifically if you could craft your own packets to send thru the socket.
In fact, that brings up another issue, does anyone have a good resource for learning
network programming with Perl? Specifically how to craft and send your own packets?

Thanks as always guys, its been some time since I've been here, been too busy
with work. I really missed this place!
