I still can't seem to get the following section of code to work - it never enters the while<$t_socket>{...} loop to receive input from the Third process (the one it sends $name) 

if($name eq $match)
        {
            print "Second found match: $name\n";
            print "Second sending \"$name\" to Third\n";
            
            print $t_socket "$name\n";
        
            while(<$t_socket>)
            {
                #print "Second has accepted socket to Third...\n";
                
                my $name = $_;
                chomp($name);
                
                my $t_host = gethostbyaddr($t_socket->peeraddr, AF_INE
+T);
                my $t_port = $t_socket->peerport;
                
                print "Received from [$f_host $f_port]: $name\n";     
            }
}

Do I need to do anything in particular to "listen" on the <$t_socket>?
