I'd like to stick to not having to require modules if it's possible. I got IO::Select working properly, and I can now listen to multiple servers. I have another question though. I'm eventually going to have a large handful of servers, and hard coding each one seems a bit sloppy. I'm trying to use the following code to clean it up a bit: 
my $sock = new IO::Socket::SSL(PeerAddr => 'irc.server2.org', PeerPort
+ => '6697', Proto => 'tcp') or die "Can't connect\n";
my $sock2 = new IO::Socket::SSL(PeerAddr => 'irc.server1.org', PeerPor
+t => '6697', Proto => 'tcp') or die "Can't connect\n";
my %Servers = (server1 => $sock, server2 => $sock2);

foreach my $out (keys %Servers) {
    print $Servers{$out} "NICK mlapaglia\r\n";
    print $Servers{$out} "USER mlapaglia\r\n";
}

but it's failing at print $Servers{$out} "NICK mlapaglia\r\n"; When I try print $sock "NICK mlapaglia\r\n"; it works properly. Am I dereferencing incorrectly?
