I'm trying to get information from port 43030 and forward its contents to other IP:Ports. My problem is that the loop runs twice, but uses the first "forward to" IP and port both times.

I can receive data fine, and it forwards information (be it twice to the same IP/port, but my socket code _does_ work) 

$CFG{listen_port} = 43030;

%data = (
    '24.25.32.4' => [
        ["192.168.0.3","43035"],
        ["192.168.0.3","43040"],
    ],
);

$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => $CFG{listen_port}, Type =
+> SOCK_DGRAM, Proto => 'udp') || die "ERROR: can't open socket\n";
while ($socket->recv($in, 1024) ) {
    $ip = inet_ntoa($socket->peeraddr);
#        print "Info from $ip";
        foreach(@{$data{$ip}}){
            my $tip = ${$_}[0];
            $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => 'udp', PeerPort => 
+$data{$ip}[$tip][1], PeerAddr => $data{$ip}[$tip][0]);
            $sock->send($in) or die "send: $!";
            print "Sent to $data{$ip}[$tip][0]:$data{$ip}[$tip][1]\n";
        }
        print $in;
}

I don't usually mess with complex data structures because of problems like this. Once I get this worked out though, and I can loop through different layers, I think they'll come in handy.

Any help on how to get it to loop properly would be greatly appreciated. Note: I'm using extra variables to try to make things easier. ($tip = temporary IP) I realize the code sucks. I haven't cleaned it up yet.

Thanks for any help you could offer,
