Thanks for the reply!

Your script gave me -

sock1         = IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0xdcf36c)
fileno(sock1) = 4
autoflush     = ON

sock2         = GLOB(0xdcee1c)
fileno(sock2) = 4
autoflush     = OFF

nice to meet you
??

I used $socket->autoflush() to switch on autoflush and then checked th
+at it was indeed turned on. I'm still getting the exact same error th
+ough. And other suggestions?

Thanks again!
