Hi Guys,

If we need to call a socket in a code but that socket should be created based on a condition.

The condition: If creation of first socket fails the second should be created.

I tried the if condition does not work the function before parsing through the if condition goes to the send condition.

Then I tried with the or but in 3 or the last one takes precedence first....

If some one has any idea/ trick to make it work please let me know.. 

$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto    => 'tcp',
                            PeerPort    => $portp, --> Primary host
                              PeerAddr    => $hostp,
                  Timeout   => 5)

||$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto    => 'tcp',
                PeerPort => $ports, --> secondary host
                PeerAddr => $hosts)
                              
        or die "Can't create socket: $!\n";

So, if the primary fails secondry port should be created, then send function should send the message. Thank you
