I have a simple server and client. I pulled the code right out of something else I have that works perfectly. In this pair, though, the server gets the first message and then nothing. The server does not hang or zombie, just does not get any more messages from the socket. The code is almost boilerplate from the books...any ideas? server socket code: 

my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
LocalPort => 1880,
Type      => SOCK_STREAM,
Reuse     => 1,
Listen    => 10 )
or die "Big Problem with the Server, Man : $!\n\n";

while ( $test ) {
    my $date = localtime();
    warn "Started up: $date\n";

    while ( my $client = $socket->accept() ) {
        my $message = 
<$client>



;
        warn "$message";
        chomp $message;

        print $client 'Message recieved', "\n" if $message;

        if ( $message eq 'die' ) {
        #etc., etc.
        }
    }
}

then I have a little client I'm using to test it: 

use IO::Socket::INET;

my $socket; # for use in all scopes

$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
    PeerAddr => 'localhost',
    PeerPort => '1880',
    Proto    => "tcp",
    Type     => SOCK_STREAM)
or die "Big Problem connecting to Server, Man : $!\n\n";

while (1) {
    print 'talk to me, like keyboards do: ';
    my $input = 
;
    chomp $input;
    if ( $input =~ /^q/i ) { exit; }
    else { print $socket "$input\n"; }
}
