You have to use the same socket for both send and receive. I suspect you're not issuing use strict and use warnings here. Why should a variable named $s_receive turn into $s_send?!? Moreover, the print scalar <$s_send> is really obscure - what do you want to obtain?

Here's a skeleton for your application, but again you have to fill in the actual implementation of the algorithm. You can also find some example of bidirectional communication.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;
                                                                      
+          
# Main socket, it's only for accepting connections
my $sock =
        IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => 10000, Proto => 'tcp', List
+en => 2)
                or die "unable to initiate socket: $!";
print STDERR "ready to accept connections\n";
                                                                      
+          
# Working sockets, they're bidirectional connections towards each
# single client, so they're to be used for actual communications
my $conn1 = $sock->accept() or die "accept(): $!";
print STDERR "client 1 connected\n";
                                                                      
+          
my $conn3 = $sock->accept() or die "accept(): $!";
print STDERR "other client connected\n";
                                                                      
+          
# Core of algorithm should go here, just some examples of IO given
 
# Read from client #1
my $rec1 = <$conn1>;
 
# Send something to client #1
print $conn1 "Hey #1, I heard you saying [$rec1]\n";
 
# Read from the other client
my $rec3 = <$conn3>;
 
# Send something to it as well
print $conn3 "You're there, #3... did you say [$rec3]?\n";
 
$_->close foreach ($conn3, $conn1, $sock);
