I appreciate your feedback.

I realize one side of this problem isn't Perl, but what I was aiming for with my question was if someone else had some example code (client/server) that would demonstrate more two-way communication. I didn't post the whole thing, because my sub was only somewhat modified from the original example in the perlipc docs for the calc server. If you look at the IO::Socket, multi-threaded example, that IS my script. I just don't need a calculator server. =)

My daemon needs to accept a connection, and then print all of the command output from the client to a log file (taking the multi-threaded facet into consideration).

So, to summarize, I am asking if someone has some good sample code showing:

1. Client makes a connection to server
2. Server prints stuff to client socket
3. The results of that input to the client (the client output) is captured by the server.


Again, thank you for responding to my post. =) I apologize for not being more clear the first time.
