What have you tried sofar?? Please show some code.. I would use IO::Socket::INET
If you check my past posts, I think you'll find I'm not one who routinely asks for do-it-for-me solutions. And I must admit I give similar answers when one does, but in this case since I do know very little about networking in general, let alone in Perl, I would have been glad to see some minimal code as a primer - which is what I explicitly asked for. Of course this won't prevent me from reading further and try something myself, then come back here in case I find any actual difficulty. Something along the lines of what fmerges supplied at Re: Very basic socket question is perfect.
