Hi Monkeys

I'm messing around with sockets, and all is well, but my socket server spends most of its time waiting on "my $live_socket = $socket->accept();".

Up until now, I've just been killing it with ^C, but running the bulk of the socket code as a child process seemed a better way to control it.

My problem is that ideally, I want my parent process to terminate the child, but only if it's sitting on $socket->accept(). Suggestions? Cut-down code below...

my $fork_pid = fork();
if($fork_pid == 0){
  while(1){

    my $live_socket = $socket->accept(); # only allow parent to kill c
+hild here

    <do stuff - read from socket, checksum check, write to file, send 
+ACK/NAK etc.>

    $live_socket->close();
  }
}
# parent should kill child nicely (9 is a bit drastic, but <9 doesn't 
+seem to work), and only if child is waiting for a socket connection
else{
  print "Hit <ENTER> to quit\n";
  my $quit = <STDIN>;
  kill 9, $fork_pid;
}
