I can not tell if the original suggestions work, because after careful consideration, I have decided to approach my needs from a different and way more easier perspective.

What I'd like to say thou, is that the modification to the subroutine winsocketpair suggested by BrowserUk (see above), stopped making my perl interpreter to hang up.So, whoever comes behind me looking for a solution that requieres Win32::Socketpair, be aware of this needed modification.

Additionally, in my particular case, "use threads qw( async );" complains that "async" is an unknow import, even thou I verified it is there in threads.pm, go figure.

Many thanks to ikegami, BrowserUk and everyone else for the help provided.

Best regards
