What if I initiate the conversation (send a message) then need to listen for a response. If I open a socket: 

my $t_socket = IO::Socket::INET->new( 'PeerAddr' => "localhost",
                    'PeerPort' => $T_PORT,
                       'Proto' => 'tcp')
    or die "Second: Can't create socket to Third($!)\n";

Send some data.. 
if($name eq $match)
        {
            print "Second found match: $name\n";
            print "Second sending \"$name\" to Third\n";
            
            print $t_socket "$match\n";
        }

Then listen for a response... 
while(my $third = $t_socket->accept)
        {
            print "Second has accepted socket to Third...\n";
            
            my $t_host = gethostbyaddr($third->peeraddr, AF_INET);
                my $t_port = $third->peerport;
            
            while (<$third>)
            {
                my $name = $_;
                chomp($name);
                
                print "Received from [$f_host $f_port]: $name\n";
                
                if($name eq $match)
                {
                    print "Received \"$name\" from Third\n";    
                 
                     last;       
                }
                else
                {
                    last;
                }
            }    
        }

Do I need to do a $t_socket->accept if the connection has already been established?

Can you tell what I am doing wrong in the above example (since it's not working)?

Thanks!
