in thread Very basic socket question

Thank you for the extensive answer. The goal is not much more complex than the explicit description given in the original post. Of course I'm trying to make this into a chance for learning about networking.

Certainly I'm aware of the LWP family of modules, and I've heard but not really used (yet) WWW::Mechanize - in any case I'm not about to reimplement them!!

    Hi,

    I recommend you this book, is not about Perl, it's C, but anyway the concepts can be ported, and gives you an idea on low level, so you can understand well the IO::Socket, and network programming in general.

    Also take a look at POE, you can do really nice things with it.
