I am a seeker of your knowledge and hope you can help me clear up my confusion.

I have a graphClient that calls a graphServer via a TCP/IP socket. The graphServer accesses logfiles from previous online activities. From these logfiles, data is extracted to create three (3) arrays. Each array contains 1440 (0-1339) entries, (one for each minute of the day). Each entry contains the sum of the activity for that minute. The arrays are named based on the associated activity, (i.e. @queries, @threads, @restarts). The arrays are being created as I can print them out.

I pass these arrays back to the graphClient so the contents may be acted upon.

 graphSocket:   

    @response = "@response" . "," . "@threads" . "@restarts";
    print "\@reponse: @response\n";
    print $new_sock "@response\n";

I issue a print right after I append them to the @response array and since each is printed, I assume @response now contains them.

The following is how my client is attempting to receive them back:

graphClient:

...graphing routine

        mevs_get_stats($server, $mb_portno);   # get the data from MEV
+S Servers
       print "\nResponse returned from $server:\n$response\n";   # pri
+nt response - THIS WORKS!

       @arrays = split(",", $response);   # split queries/threads/rest
+arts into @arrays -- DOESN'T WORK?

       print "\narray[0]: $arrays[0]\n"; # Prints Nothing??
       print "\narray[1]: $arrays[1]\n"; # Prints Nothing??
       print "\narray[2]: $arrays[2]\n"; # Prints Nothing??

                                          #
        my @queries   = split(" ", $arrays[0]);   # split queries 
        my @threads   = split(" ", $arrays[1]);   # split threads 
        my @restarts  = split(" ", $arrays[2]);   # split restarts 
        $i = 0;                                 # init $i to 0 prior t
+o indexing the matrix

        print "\nQueries(split response):\n@queries\n";          #debu
+g
        print "\nThreads(split response):\n@threads\n";          #debu
+g
        print "\nRestarts(split response):\n@restarts\n";        #debu
+g

In graphClient, the socket routine (mevs_get_stats) is called which calls the server and receives the $response. I print the $response and all is okay, (the commas also print which show the separation of the arrays).

However, once I do my splits and presumably extract the data into separate arrays, I then print each array variables, $array0-2, and get absolutely nothing... At this point, it seems I know longer have any data/arrays.

I know I must be doing something wrong, I'm not sure what it is. I am hoping you can help get me on the right track.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
