I've been working on this server for a few days. What day is it anyway? : )

The problem is that the window opens only after the connection is made.

The window has to open first. It will then show the IP, Date/Time. Then get updated every time the text comes from the client.

Everything else is working. The filtered text gets filtered out, the command is sent to the system.

I don't think I need most of the "USE" commands, but I can try to filter them out later.

I also know that the "While" is a problem. But I need the part after the while to run the rest of the code.

Here is a test Client. But it will only run once.

Would like it to continue sending what is typed.

use IO::Socket;
use Sys::Hostname;
my($ipaddr)=inet_ntoa((gethostbyname(hostname))[4]);

$remote = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                Proto   => 'tcp',       
                PeerAddr=> "$ipaddr:8087",   
                Reuse   => 1,
                ) or die "$!";
print "Connected to ", $remote->peerhost, 
      " on port: ", $remote->peerport, "\n";
$remote->autoflush(1);  # Send immediately

while (<>) {    
        print  $remote  " "; print  $remote "sendplc ";
        print  $remote  $_;       # Send to Server
               
}#Want to keep the client running.
