Is this possible?

I now have a server, that opens and listens on the specified port, and a client that connects, and sends a message to the server, but the specifications for what I'm creating require a "handshake" between the client and server before the message is transferred, requiring data to be sent both ways across the connection, and I can't get anything to work, or find any support for such a task elsewhere, so I was wondering if such a connection is even possible in Perl using IO::Socket, and what I would need to do for this, or if I should research another way to set up the socket connection.

Thank you!
