I do have that book, and have tried to use the Msg module, but have met with slightly different results now... details below:

First, the new code I am using:

use Msg;

my $conn = Msg->connect($WYSHOST, $WYSPORT);
die "Couldn't connect to $WYSHOST on $WYSPORT" unless $conn;

$conn->send_now($NODEREC);
$conn->send_now("\n");
($res, $err) = $conn->rcv_now();
print Dumper($res), "\n";
print Dumper($err), "\n";

[download]
and the results end up with $res and $err both being '': 
$VAR1 = '';

$VAR1 = '';

[download]

Should I view this as an error in the part f sending over the XML record that requests the data from the application? Or as some strange buffering issue on hte receiving host's side?

again, many thanks in advance for all the help so far.
