Hi all,

I'm trying to maintain a record of how many times clients connects to a server(This information is then processed further for directing the client suitably)

I'm using hashes which has the following keys: peer_address, times_connected.

so everytime a client connects to a server, its times_connected is incremented.

And the code at the server side is as below: 
my %has;

while(1)
{
# waiting for new client connection.
$client_socket = $socket->accept();
# get the host and port number of newly connected client.
$peer_address = $client_socket->peerhost();
## check against previous connections
    if (exists $has{$peer_address})
    {
        $has{$peer_address}->{times_connect}=$has{$peer_address}->{tim
+es_connect}+1;
        print "No. of Times it has communicated : $has{$peer_address}-
+>{times_connect}";
    }
    else 
    {
        print "new connection\n";
        $t=1;
        ++$has{$peer_address};
        $has{$peer_address}->{times_connect}=$t;
    }    
    
    }

Now when I run client script from one machine, I get a proper count of times_connect, but when I use the second machine to run the client code, the times_connect is getting mixed up.

in short, I'm not able to get times_connect for each client.

Any help you be great. Thanks
