Thanks for the responses, looks like the answers give me some things to try. I have a few questions about the code posted: 
 #! perl -slw
use strict;
use threads;
use Thread::Queue;
use IO::Socket;

my $Q = new Thread::Queue;

my @threads = map async {
    while( 1 ) {
        my $s = IO::Socket::INET->new( $_ ) or die $!;
        while( my $input = <$s> ) {
            $Q->enqueue( $input );
        }
        sleep 5;
    }
}, 'localhost:12345', 'localhost:6789';

while( my $input = $Q->dequeue ) {
    chomp $input;
    if( $input =~ m[Z:] ) {
        ## Deal with telemetry
        print "Got telemetry: '$input'";
    }
    else {
        ## Deal with waypoint;
        print "Got waypoint: '$input'";
    }
}

port 12345 will only receive the telemetry in XML format and port 6789 will only send the waypoint XML file. My question would be how can I separate these processes?
