in thread Is it possible to create a socket client and server that can send information back and forth using IO::Socket?

it's simply the server, once it receives a connection

I wonder if you are trying to get things the wrong way around? Generally, assuming you are using SOCK_STREAM, the server waits on a connection and a first message from the client - it is usually the client who "speaks" first (it does not have to be anything deep and meaningful). The server then responds, and waits for a reply. Maybe you have both sides sending or recieving at the same time?
