I have a simple client/server model setup with 2 scripts. The client connects to the server, sends some data, and then closes the connection. The server sits and receives the input over the socket. I want to have the server detect when the connection has been closed. I've been trying to use the connected function, but it is not working properly (prob. not using it correctly). I am using ActiveState for Windows.
Here is the code:
server:

use IO::Socket;
use IO::Select;


$read_set = new IO::Select(); # create handle set for reading

$a = new IO::Socket::INET (
    LocalHost => 'localhost',
    LocalPort => '80',
     Proto => 'tcp',
     Listen => 1,
     Reuse => 1,
    ); 
    $read_set->add($a);     

$quit = 0;
while ($quit == 0) {
    foreach $rh ($read_set->can_read(20)) {
        print "start\n";
        my $new_sock = $rh->accept();
        $temp = $new_sock->connected();
        $temp2 = $rh->connected();
        print "-$temp--$temp2-\n";

        if ( not defined($new_sock->connected) ) {
            $quit = 1;
            last;
        }
        
        
        while(<$new_sock>) {
            print $_;
        }
        if ( not defined($new_sock->connected) ) {
            $quit = 1;
            print "not defined anymore\n";
        }
        sleep 3;
        print "end\n";
        $temp = $new_sock->connected();
        $temp2 = $rh->connected();
        print "-$temp--$temp2-\n";
    }
}

close($sock);

client:

use IO::Socket;                                          

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (                       
     PeerAddr => 'localhost',
     PeerPort => '80',    
     Proto => 'tcp', 
     Timeout => 10,       
);                      
die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;       

while ($i < 5) { 
    $i++;
    print $sock "sending the stuff $i\n";
    print "sending the stuff $i\n";
    sleep 2;     
}                    

$sock->close();
                                         
sleep 20;

Is this even the right way to go about this?
