Hi,

thanks for response.

I agree, but maintaining TCP connection always up is a requirement in my situation - connected TCP socket is a sign of my client being alive.

I've searched CPAN all the way but got no single explanation to socket options I described. There are some packages that deal with TCP sockets, but no one has functionality to keep TCP connection alive in this manner (I could be wrong in this one...) ...

So perl monks are my last hope to find some solution to this. I've searched Internet and found only C library references (almost no Perl sources) that I don't know how to use under Perl...

From other functionality I just want to resend data if something failed and that's it...


Thanks in advance for Perl wisdom,
regards,
Rob.
