in reply to Unable to connect remotely

When you create your socket:

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET( LocalHost => 'localhost', LocalPort => $port,

you tell it to only listen on localhost. Which likely is not what you want. Maybe you want to omit the LocalHost parameter alltogether, so it listens on all interfaces?

    Indeed, your all-seeing-eye pointed my miserable mistake!

    Now works like a charm! Thank you oh mighty monks!
