You can use Tk's fileevent as in the example below. Start the server, and as many clients as you want. (Not tested on Windows) and I'm not entirely sure what you want. Also alot of error checking is left out. I like to use Net::EasyTCP for this type of thing. It can be used with Tk, by the method shown by Errto, of putting the socket checking into a "repeat" statement( but that is getting away from your question. See ztk-enchat encrypted server client).
##############server########################### #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IO::Socket; use Tk; $|=1; $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'; my $listen = IO::Socket::INET->new( Proto => 'tcp', LocalPort => 7070, Listen => 3, Reuse => 1, ) or die "Can't create listen socket : $!\n"; my $mw = MainWindow->new(); $mw->geometry('+20+20'); my $text = $mw->Scrolled('Text', -background =>'black', -foreground => 'yellow', )->pack(); my $subframe = $mw->Frame()->pack(); $subframe->Button(-text => 'Clear', -command => sub { $text->delete('1.0','end'); })->pack(-side=>'left'); $subframe->Button(-text => 'Save Log', -command => sub { })->pack(-side=>'left'); $subframe->Button(-text => 'Exit', -command => sub { exit })->pack(-side=>'right'); $mw->fileevent($listen, 'readable', sub { new_connection($listen) }); Tk::MainLoop; sub new_connection { my ($listen) = @_; my $client = $listen->accept() or warn "Can't accept connection"; $client->autoflush(1); $mw->fileevent($client, 'readable', sub { handle_connection($clien +t) }); $client->print("Connected\n"); $text->insert('end', "Connected\t"); $text->see('end'); } sub handle_connection { my ($client) = @_; my $message = <$client>; if (defined $message and $message !~ /^quit/) { $message =~ s/[\r\n]+$//; $client->print("Got message [$message]\n"); #echo back if wanted $text->insert('end', "Got message [$message]\t"); $text->see('end'); } else { $text->insert('end', "Connection Closed\n"); $text->see('end'); $client->close(); } } __END__ <code> <code> ############clients######################### #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use IO::Socket; $|++; my $name = 'foo'; while(1){ my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( PeerAddr => 'localhost', PeerPort => '7070', Proto => 'tcp', ); die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock; $sock->autoflush(1); my $con_msg = <$sock>; print $con_msg,"\n"; print $sock $name.time,"\n"; my $msg = <$sock>; print $msg; $sock->close(); sleep(5); } exit 0;
