Here's an example using IO::Select and IO::Socket.... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use IO::Select;
use IO::Socket;

$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalHost => '127.0.0.1', LocalPort => 9
+999, Proto
 => 'tcp', Listen => 10, Reuse => 1) || die("Couldn't create socket: $
+!\n");

$s = IO::Select->new($sock);

while(1) {
 foreach $client ($s->can_read(0)) { #check for all ready sockets
  if($client == $sock) { #if this is the main socket
                         #we'll try to accpet a new connection
   $client = $sock->accept();
   $s->add($client);
  }
  else { #this is a client socket
   if(eof($client)) {
    $s->remove($client); #remove them from the list if we've hit eof
   }
   $line = <$client>;
   print($client->peerhost, ": said $line");
  }
 }
}
