Re: IO::Sockets server

I'd use Net::Server.

package Foo;
use base qw(Net::Server);

open(my $log, '>>', 'log.txt')
    || die "Couldn't open log.txt: $!";

Foo->run(port => 7777);

sub process_request {
  while (<STDIN>) {
    print "You said: $_";
    print $log "They said: $_";
  }
}

There are many many options available including Fork, PreFork, Multiplex, and others. See the perldoc for Net::Server.

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

Thanks guys, I have the following and its working great: #!/usr/bin/perl -w my $socket; my $port = 7777; my $host; use IO::Socket; use Sys::Hostname; $SIG{CHLD} = sub {wait ()}; $host = hostname(); # START LOOP HERE my $main_sock = new IO::Socket::INET (LocalHost => $host, LocalPort => $port, Listen => 5, Proto => 'tcp', Reuse => 1, ); if (!$main_sock) { die "Socket could not be created. Reason: $!\n"; } my $buf; my $new_sock; my $pid; while ($new_sock = $main_sock->accept()) { $pid = fork(); if ($pid == 0) { # Child process while (defined ($buf = <$new_sock>)) { # do something with $buf .... my @lines = split(/\\|/,$buf); exit(0); # Child process exits when it is done. } } # else 'tis the parent process, which goes back to accept() } close ($main_sock); exit; However how do i save the data recieved to a log file? say /usr/home/l +og.txt [download]	[reply] [d/l]

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $socket;
my $port = 7777;
my $host;

use IO::Socket;
use Sys::Hostname;

$SIG{CHLD} = sub {wait ()};

$host = hostname();

# START LOOP HERE
my $main_sock = new IO::Socket::INET (LocalHost => $host,
                                   LocalPort => $port,
                                   Listen    => 5,
                                   Proto     => 'tcp',
                                   Reuse     => 1,
                                  );
if (!$main_sock)
    {
     die "Socket could not be created. Reason: $!\n";
}

my $buf;
my $new_sock;
my $pid;
while ($new_sock = $main_sock->accept()) {
    $pid = fork();
    if ($pid == 0) {
        # Child process
        while (defined ($buf = <$new_sock>))
        {
           # do something with $buf ....
          my @lines = split(/\|/,$buf);
        exit(0);   # Child process exits when it is done.
       }
    } # else 'tis the parent process, which goes back to accept()
}
close ($main_sock);
exit;

However how do i save the data recieved to a log file? say /usr/home/l
+og.txt
