in reply to client/server tcp/ip module ?

Go to cpan and get Net::EasyTCP. It does it all by passing hashes back and forth, and has built in encryption. It is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

    The security protocols used by EasyTCP are... um... suboptimal. Its password authentication mechanism is vulnerable to eavesdropping. The symmetric encryption keys are passed in the clear if you're not careful. And there's no protection at all against active attackers. If encryption is a real requirement, you should use something else.
