What could do what you want and be higher level? You aren't using a known protocol, so there will be no help there. All you are doing is connecting a server printing 9 bytes, a variable number of bytes, then another 9 bytes, and then reading a number of bytes from the server. You don't need any higher level of abstraction than a file handle (which is effectively what IO::Socket gives you). -- Chas.
