Re^5: session expiry

Have you looked at what line 50 is?

You are not checking whether creating your REPORT file succeeds. Change

open REPORT, ">> ...";
[download]

open REPORT, '>>', $report_file
    or die "Couldn't append to REPORT file '$report_file';
[download]

You are not checking whether creating $sock1 succeeds. But you still blindly try to write to it, which might or might not cause your error.

As an aside, you have commented out use strict;. Why?

Sorry, my mistake when I was uploading the script I removed some commented out lines, so line 50 is: `print $sock1 "$mac1";` [download] So it is trying to, if i read this right, send the MAC to the IP2 on port 5555, but fails because it cannot write to it.	[reply] [d/l]

Right. `$sock1` did not connect, and you never know about that because you only check whether `$sock` connects.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
