I've got the following to work now using IO::Select Properly send & receive to and from server.
I can esablish a DCC connection over additional socket, but then I only get the data from the DCC socket,
and no-longer the data from the server socket, untill the DCC socket is closed.....

$con = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$server",
                             PeerPort=>"$port",
                             Proto=>'tcp',
                             Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n";
$select = IO::Select->new($con);

while(@ready = $select->can_write) {
  for $socket (@ready) {
  #The DCC Connection
    if($socket == $dcc) {
      $talk = <$dcc>;
      print $talk;
  #The Server Connection
    } elsif ($socket == $con)  {
      $answer = <$con>;
      print $answer;    # echo everything that comes from the server t
+o screen
      #lots of other stuff here
      if ($answer =~ /:(.*)\!.* PRIVMSG $me :\001DCC CHAT chat (\d+) (
+\d+)\001\r\n/) {
        print "Received dcc from $1 with $2 and $3\n";
        $dcc = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$2",
                                     PeerPort=>"$3",
                                     Proto=>'tcp',
                                     Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $
+!\n";
        print $dcc "Please Enter Your Password!\n";
        $select = IO::Select->new($dcc);
      }
    } else {
      print "more stuff to come here"
    }
  }
}

Never mind... I think i fixed it....
Dunno if its the proper way but hey it works!!!!!!!!!

$con = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$server",
                             PeerPort=>"$port",
                             Proto=>'tcp',
                             Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n";
$select = IO::Select->new();
$select->add($con);
while(@ready = $select->can_write) {
  for $socket (@ready) {
    #The DCC Connection
    if($socket == $dcc) {
      $talk = <$dcc>;
      print $talk;
      #The Server Connection
    } elsif ($socket == $con)  {
      $answer = <$con>;
      print $answer;
      # Stufff
      if ($answer =~ /:(.*)\!.* PRIVMSG $me :\001DCC CHAT chat (\d+) (
+\d+)\001\r\n/) {
        print "Received dcc from $1 with $2 and $3\n";
        $dcc = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$2",
                                     PeerPort=>"$3",
                                     Proto=>'tcp',
                                     Timeout=>'30') ||   print "Error!
+ $!\n";
        print $dcc "Please Enter Your Password!\n";
        $select->add($dcc);
      }
    } else {
      print "Dunno?\n";
      exit 1;
    }
  }

If you are having problems with only getting one socket, maybe your

while(@ready = $select->can_write) {.....}
[download]

is the wrong while test. Maybe you want to add those that can_read too? If you search google and groups.google for socket examples, you will find they vary depending on code design, but they usually use can_read, or sometimes a while(1){} with can_read and can_write handled in differentl code blocks in the while(1) loop. Just a guess. :-)

Additionally, IO::Socket has a $sock->connected method that is a useful test to use in a while(1) loop.
