Wiser Monks Than I
TM might offer example code snippets or such, but here's my thoughts:
- check out Lincoln Stein's CPAN module IO-Socket-Multicast.
- run don't walk to FatBrain and order Network Programming With Perl, also by Lincoln Stein. It has a whole chapter on multicasting. (not at the Monastery bookstore yet)
Disclaimer: dunno how applicable the above stuff is to Windows.
cheers,
