in thread How Do I Do an IP Broadcast in Perl?

(I know how to get the subnet and all else, just can't send the broadcast!)

Just showing him a working example of sending the broadcast, and many systems are setup that non-root user access is disallowed for ports < 1024

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

    But you don't, you're sending to localhost.

    and many systems are setup that non-root user access is disallowed for ports < 1024
    It should be >1024 of course (as Corion rightly pointed out to me). But no "normal" system I know entirely restricts users from sending UDP packets over the network.

    All dogma is stupid.
