Sorry, perhaps I have not been clear enough. My server gets the data just fine. It is null terminated ASCII, that it gets. The server processes it just fine. When I go to print to the socket, I do this:


local $\ ="\0";
print $sock $xml;

and I hope to get that to the application. The application is not getting it however. It seems to recognize that something did arrive, but it seems to think that it's null.

The client application is Flash 5 by the way, if I did not mention that before. It claims to be able to establish a tcp/ip socket connection to a server (which it can) and then get xml from the result (which is the problem). Any tips at all?
