Wrote my script, figured it all out, everything worked (finally). Then I tried to change it over to a cgi, and I got some strange (for me) errors in the error_log file. I can post the entire code if necessary, but I'm not sure that would help. First of all, the error:
Variable "$rsock" will not stay shared at... blah
This is my socket, declared thusly: 
my $rsock = new IO::Socket::INET (PeerAddr => blah,
                               PeerPort=> 12345,
                               Proto    => 'tcp',
                              );

Shared by whom? And how can I make it stay shared? And what does this have to do with Apache, anyway (when I run it from command it's fine).
Secondly, I'm calling a sub like so: 
sendData("0x4c",1,"LOGON USERNAME=NAME PASSWORD=pass\0");

And I get the error:
Too many arguments for Apache::ROOT::benjamin::ILX::cgi_2dbin::report_
+2ecgi::sendData

Again, I don't understand why the web server is even worrying about this, these are arguments I'm trying to pass to my sub function... Thank you in advance. I have been a little scared to post my questions here, but people where so fast, nice and helpful with my last series of questions that I fear no longer. Thanks!
