Re: Networking without a network

You are probably been affected by some kind of buffering that does not happen when talking to a real socket.

Instead of using IPC::Open2::open2, you can try rolling your own version of open2 on top of socketpair (IPC::Open2 uses pipes instead of sockets).

Thanks for the suggestion, salva. And when you say rolling your own version of open2 does that involve some C programming? (Then I will be out on even thinner ice than I am now!) /L	[reply]

You can do it in Perl. perlipc has a sample of `socketpair` usage.	[reply] [d/l]
