Re: Perl server

First you got to make some decisions.

Decide how you want to communicate between your program and your "perl server". Pipes? Sockets? Files? Unix Domain Sockets? Doors? FIFOs? Databases? Something else?

Decide what kind of security you need. Can anyone make a request? If not, how are you going to limit access?

Decide on the communication protocol. Can you reuse something? Do you have to design something?

Once you know what you want, you can start implementing. And if you have something written, and you have further questions, don't hesitate to show your work and ask more questions!

Good Luck!

Look, we are good, but we are not mind readers. And we're certainly not a coding service. You require help and we are certainly willing to give it to you. But you have to put a little effort into this project yourself. That means you have to work on the problem, ask specific questions to get specific answers. Then it's your turn again to work on the problem, write some code, see how far you can get. If you get stuck again, you are welcome to ask more questions. From what you have told as so far, we can only gather the following information: You have a rather unspecific problem You didn't really formulate the problem You did not provide any code or thoughts you came up so far You want to use sockets without stating what and how you are actually want to communicate over You didn't specify what exactly do you mean by "perl server" You didn't really read and/or answer JavaFan's questions You don't use complete sentences What it boils down to is that we would be unable to help you even if we wanted to. And without you showing any effort whatsoever, it seems that any effort from our side would be wasted anyway. So, please, take the time to think about what you want, take some effort to actually work on the problem and then ask us some specifics. Sorry to be so harsh, but it's for your own good, you know... Edit: Just saw this Link posted on PM today, fits your case too: What Have You Tried? Don't use '#ff0000': use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED(); All colors subject to change without notice.
