Well it's been a long week of trial and error.

Had things happen with Tk, had things happen with Wx.

I'm back to the start. Wx.

The window opens after the server gets a connection. The Window has to open and display the IP First.

Then display the text from the client. And display the next set of text from the client.

And send the commands to the computer. I'm still stuck with "What to do instead of While"

And a test client.....

use IO::Socket;
use Sys::Hostname;
my($ipaddr)=inet_ntoa((gethostbyname(hostname))[4]);
$remote = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                Proto   => 'tcp',       # protocol
                PeerAddr=> "$ipaddr:8087",   
                PeerPort=> "8087",      # port of server
                Reuse   => 1,
                ) or die "$!";
print "Connected to ", $remote->peerhost, # Info message
      " on port: ", $remote->peerport, "\n";
$remote->autoflush(1);  # Send immediately

while (<>) {    # Get input from STDIN
        print  $remote  " "; print  $remote "sendplc ";
        print  $remote  $_;       # Send to Server
               #last if m/^end/gi;      # If 'end' then exit loop
        my $line = <$remote>;   # Receive echo from server
        if ($line ne $_) {      # If not the same as input
                #print "Error in sending output\n"; # error
                exit;           # Terminate
        }

print "End of client\n";        # End of client
close $remote;                  # Close socket

exit
}

Run the server first. Type anything into the client. Commands are if you have X10 installed "A1 On"
