hello monks.. please excuse the noobie question, i kinda got stuck.. any feedback pointers etc, much appreciated. I currently have a perl script that prints a single command to a TCP Socket 
print $sock "$data\r\n";
my @output;
$output = join('', @output);

However I now need to process a list of commands (400) to a server, the list is a text file with no delimiters just a new line for each command .. so do I create my array from list? 
$data_file = "/path/to/data.txt";
$delimiter = "\n"; 
open(FILE,"$data_file") || &error('open->data_file',$data_file);
@FILE = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

ok now the tricky bit.. for me anyway :) do I need to create a long string from the list & split? 
$commands = join('',@FILE);
@commands = split(/$delimiter/,$commands);

If I get to this position, how can I print the string to my socket? thanks Steve ...
