Hi, I have the following piece of code. Works great for one person, and then as soon as that person is finished it works great for the next. How can i get it to broadcast everything coming from one port to the other port all the time. 
use IO::Select;
use IO::Socket;

my $client_port;
my $rtk_connection;
my $listening_port;
my $rtk_port; 
my $rtk_ip;
my $accepted_client;
 $listening_port=8019;
 $rtk_port=4004;
 $rtk_ip='000.000.000.000';
 
$client_port=IO::Socket::INET->new('LocalPort'=>$listening_port, 'Reus
+e'=>1, 'Listen'=>512, 'Proto'=>'tcp') || warn "Can not create to list
+ening socket on port $listening_port: $!\n";
$rtk_connection= IO::Socket::INET->new('PeerAddr'=>$rtk_ip, 'PeerPort'
+ =>$rtk_port, 'Reuse'=>1, 'Proto'=>'tcp') || warn "Can not create rtk
+ socket on IP $rtk_ip and port $rtk_port: $!\n";

$SIG{'CHLD'}='IGNORE';

while(1){
 $accepted_client=$client_port->accept() ;
 
 if($accepted_client){
  print "Client accepted\n";
 }
 
 if(!$accepted_client){
  print "Client could not be accepted: $!\n";
  next;
 }
 
 $spawn=fork();
 
 if(!defined($spawn)){
  print "Could not spawn child process: $!\n";
 }
 
 elsif($spawn == 0){
  $client_port->close();
  print "Spawned child A\n";
  &rtk($accepted_client, $rtk_connection);
 }
 
 else{
  print "Spawned child B\n";
  $accepted_client->close();
 }
}

sub rtk{
 ($ac,$rs)=@_;

 $ac->autoflush(0);
 $rs->autoflush(0);

 while($ac){
  $drl=sysread($rs, $rd, 1024);

  if(!$drl){
   print "No stream: $!\n";
   exit(0);
  }

  $dwl=syswrite($ac, $rd, 1024);

  if(!$dwl){
   print "Client Disconnected: $!\n";
   exit(0);
  }
 }
}
