Thank you for your reply.

I was typing my follow-up while you added your reply. I was not ignoring your reply.

My main reason for using IO::Multiplex was that someone told me that it was a much easier way to go. For my first attempt easy sounded good. Except for the four client error messages I now have my first attempt under my belt. Thus, it is a good time (after a little mandatory yard work) to review your comments, review what I have done, review the postings I have used and try to gain a little wisdom as a person with one small program under my belt.

Having something that works makes it easier for me to go through Perl documentation/examples and learn more about Perl and WireShark one issue at a time. Previously, having nothing working made it hard to zero in on anything.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Still looking for suggestions/comments on the error messages.

Bruce
