Re: `print CLIENT` seems to send nothing with `use Socket`

Two things occur to me:

You might be suffering from buffering - did you try to do select CLIENT; $|=1;?
I always feel nervous writing to pipes with print - my C background insists that one should write to pipes with the closest-to-the-metal functions available, so I always used syswrite, as in:
```
$msg="+OK\n"; syswrite(CLIENT,$msg);
[download]
```
In addition, syswrite will return the number of bytes actually written, which should help you with your debugging.

Doh! I should have known about `$\|=1`. I just saw your words 'suffering from buffering' and I thought 'maybe I should use $\|'... that did the job! Thank you! You see... it is a FAQ-related question :)	[reply] [d/l]
