So when you telnet into the server, it seems to work and actually returns the data followed by the null? Have you looked to see if it is preceding the data with a null? If you have seen that the perl server is working, what is your perl question? I don't think people here can figure out what is wrong with Flash...

In any case, quick mucking about with the special variables and print the null explicitly. That way you know no extra chars are being sent... print $sock $xml."\00"; # or chr(0) works.

$you = new YOU;
honk() if $you->love(perl)
