So I have two script one in vb and one in perl. My perl script is to get the information from a file and parse it into the datase and also open a socket connection to my vb script and forward the information to send out email and paging notification. Now i setup my perl script to run as a service and do the parsing automatically. But when i try to create the socket connection to my vb...sometime it would work right and then the service stop. Or sometime if i stop and start my vb script it would work the first file but for the second file it doesnt n cause the service to stop. I'm using WIN32-Daemon as my service. 
foreach my $filename ( readdir( DIR ) )
                {
                    my $filepath = "$scan_dir\\$filename";

                if ( $filename =~ /\.txt$/i ) {

           my ($variable)=Read_File( $scan_dir, $filename );
                
               Scan_File($variables);
               my $status=Socket($variable,$sock);
                   
                }
           else { # get rid id miscellanous files in this directory
               unlink "$scan_dir\\$filename" or print ERROR "can't unl
+ink $scan_dir\\$filename $!";
           }
            }

Now if i comment out the "my $status=Socket" it work perfectly. and it not commend out sometime the notifcation would work other it cause the service to stop. Any Idea on what might be causing the problem? 
sub Socket    {
    my ($variable, $sock)=@_;

    if ($alarmtype =~ "WARNING")    {
        $alarmtype = "NOTIFICATION";
    }
    elsif ($alarmtype =~ "HALT")    {
        $alarmtype = "SHUTDOWN";
    }
    my $msg= "$alarmtype\r\n$eqpid\r\n$eqpid-$chamber\r\nMW\r\nTriant 
+Parameter Out of Bound. \r\nTCOM:\r\nN\r\nAlarmType='$alarmtype' $sen
+sor on recipe $recipe is out of bound. Signal_Level = $signal_level L
+ower = $alarm_lower_limit Upper = $alarm_upper_limit Code = $code \r\
+nI\r\nSTOP\r\nPHOT\r\n";
    sendToLog ("TCOM socket: $msg") ;
    $sock->send($msg );
        return ("TRUE");
}
