in reply to New in socket programming .. getting error in socket handle

It'll work a lot better if you replace the comma with a semicolon... 

print CLIENT "Hello from the server: ",
                                      ^

With a comma, the subsequent close CLIENT is evaluated before the print (because it is an argument to print), which is why you get the error.
