Re^2: Very basic socket question

What have you tried sofar?? Please show some code.. I would use IO::Socket::INET

If you check my past posts, I think you'll find I'm not one who routinely asks for do-it-for-me solutions. And I must admit I give similar answers when one does, but in this case since I do know very little about networking in general, let alone in Perl, I would have been glad to see some minimal code as a primer - which is what I explicitly asked for. Of course this won't prevent me from reading further

tutorials,
examples,
docs,

and try something myself, then come back here in case I find any actual difficulty. Something along the lines of what fmerges supplied at Re: Very basic socket question is perfect.

point taken, Usually I like to see some code, and comment to that. I usually assume that people try to write something and then if they can't figure it out, post it here. Then it is easier to see where the 'rub' lies... In the future I will check more closely to see who asks the question and what the background of a certain question is. Hope that you can create a solution with the primer from fmerges.	[reply]

No offence take, and I don't think I am on any particularly high horse. One nice point having to do with such a rich language as Perl is the possibility of being (at least) relatively proficient in some areas of it and still have the chance to learn something new in other areas of application!
