Re: IO::Socket does not send FIN ack?

2007fld:

I've not done any socket programming for quite a few years, so this is a guess: But IIRC, it's because you haven't accepted a connection. Until you accept a connection, you don't have a connection with the remote server, and you won't get FIN until you terminate your connection.

Thanks for the posts above. So if I change the second listen to accept, that should do work? If the accept works well, do I still need to explictly close the socket, or the socket will be closed automatically? How do I see monitor the sockets opened? I was using netstat -na \|grep port#, but feel it is not very effective.	[reply]

The socket will be closed automatically when the all copies of it go out of scope or get overwritten.	[reply]
