in thread open a socket and print from stdin....i think

Hm.. I think all who mentioned LWP understood the OP to intend to mean
open a socket to a remote server in order to execute the "command" found in a file

stevenrh ?

    On second thought, I think that's what it meant too. Oops.

    Yes. I have a list of links (with session ID, etc) i need to hit on a website. Contrary to my first post, I actually need to issue the POST command.
    example..I can:

    nc -vvv website.org 80

    and then put in my command:

    POST http://website.org/action2?sessionid /HTTP/1.0

    then i hit return a few times...and i get the html output.
    BUT
    as most have pointed out, I think LWP is the easiest, and best way, especially for me..

    also note, the "http://website.org/action2?sessionid" is coming from an array, because it's a bunch of links in a file.

      In that case LWP still serves you well, as it is easy to change the method using get() head() or post()...
