Hello again.

I am very new to Perl. I've been working on making this server for a couple of weeks. I've tried VB, Java, PY. Perl seems to be working so far. I do have it working in a black box (CMD). I've commented out, moved } curlys, etc for testing.

My plans are to have a window that shows the IP of the computer, and text from the client, and the time/date the client connected. Once I get that working, I will be working on having the user input for a port number. Then save the configuration. It looks like that is far away since I can't seem to even get the GUI to work.

Right now I will be happy with the label showing the IP and the text from the client showing in the text box.

Is it a gosub, goto thing I'm missing. Please point me in the right direction.
