Hello I'm close. The problem is that the GUI will not open until the server gets a connection. The GUI should open first showing the IP of the computer, ready to receive commands, and show the command. Please help! Here's the code.....

#!/usr/bin/perl<br>
package main;<br>
use IO::Socket;<br>
use Sys::Hostname;<br>
use Socket;<br>
use 5.008;<br>

my $app = Demo::App->new;<br>
# create the WxApplication<br>
    #$self->SetSize($text->GetSizeWH);<br>
$app->MainLoop;<br>

package Demo::App;<br>
#use strict;<br>

use base 'Wx::App';<br>

sub OnInit {<br>
    my $frame = Demo::App::Frame->new;<br>
    $frame->Show(1);<br>
}<br>

package Demo::App::Frame;<br>
#use strict;<br>
#use warnings;<br>
use Wx qw(:everything);<br>
use base 'Wx::Frame';<br>

    my ($class) = @_;<br>

    my $self = $class->SUPER::new(<br>
        undef, -1,<br>
        'Demo::App',<br>
        wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,<br>
    );<br>

    my $text = Wx::StaticText->new( $self, -1, "For X10 Voice Commande
