Those are the standard Horsemen of the trade. One minor word of caution - Richard Stevens provides interesting and useful-ish illustrations - and you use to be able to download code from him, in much the way that you can pick up the code illustrations from O'Reilly - but you will need to 'tweek them' - since some of them are 'just wrong' - and some of them are OS specific - but the compile fix compile error Scream Vulgar Euphenisms go to compile till the pain stops loop will help you understand why some of that is simpler in perl than to try to implement the 'c' code... At which point you will also understand why you want to do the perldoc ipc http://www.kohala.com/start/unpv22e/unpv22e.html is where you can find the 'Source code' download....
