Since no one else has answered you, I will, so you won't feel like you are being ignored. You are not, it's just that the question demands too much from the reader.

First, you probably would get more answers if you were using Perl for doing your socket work, rather than netcat and telnet. Not many monks use that combination.

Second, your question is vague, at least to me. It seems like you are saying "it dosn't work and I don't know why, and here is a partial snippet of some complex forking code". You really should post a complete snippet that does ( or dosn't work) and point out where you need changes. Try to limit the snippet to only show the problem, and make it workable, so others can test it.
