Hi Monks,
I am using PlRPC to execute a method on a remote server. My client is Linux RH 7.3 with Perl 5.6.1, and my server in WinNT 4.0 with Perl 5.5.3.

The action works fine, but when I want to disconnect, I want to do it good.
Up until now all I do is "close $client->{socket}", but although looking at the TCPDUMP the whole 4 ways handshake looks fine, I still get "TIME_WAIT" on the client side for several seconds.

It wasn't problematic, but Since I need to open lots of connections like that (not all to the same machine, and no, I can't keep the connection alive), it might cause a problem.

The question is - is there a better way to close the connection ?

TIA,
shushu
