Great!
In order to use the code 
else 
                {  
                    # It's an established connection 
                    
                    print "established s $s listener $listener\n";
                    print $listener "Why don't you call me anymore?\n"
+;
                    
                    my $buf = <$s>;   # Try to read a line     
                    
                    # Was there anyone on the other end?
                    if( defined $buf ) 
                    {          
                            # If they said goodbye, close the socket. 
+If not,
                                # echo what they said to us.
                                if ($buf =~ /goodbye/i) 
                                {
                                    print $s "See you later!\n";
                                    $readable->remove($s);
                                    $s->close;
                                } 
                                else 
                                {
                                    print $s "You said: $buf\n";
                                }

How would one implement a client that is continuously connected to the server, until a message like "goodbye" is keyed?
