I always loop through a socket connection to get the data that I want. my code would be as follows:

Code is untested 

#!/user/bin/perl -w 
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;

sub sock_connection{
    my $sockname = new IO::Socket::INET(PeerAddr => "putAddrHere",
                                       PeerPort => "Port",
                                       Proto => "tcp") or die "cannot 
+connect to host: $!";
    print $sockname "@_" # Puts data passed to sub
    shutdown($sockname, 1);
    while(<$sockname>){
        # place regex to remove prompt message
        # Display msgs using print $_;
    }
undef $sockname
}

if the code is called in a subroutine, like the above, you can then call the subroutine to loop through the code that you want to send to the socket. 

sock_connection("my command here")

Hope this helps?!

Edit:Added the undef to clear the socket connection when done.
