It does the socket call creates a communication endpoint (for both reading and writing). You can access this endpoint through the filehandle which is the first argument to the socket call. For a two way communication both the client and server will read and write from their respective endpoints. perldoc -f socket perldoc Socket You should also read through these docs. These modules provide a much easier interface for developing network applications. perldoc IO::Socket perldoc IO::Socket::INET perldoc IO::Socket::UNIX Which part of the example is it that you don't understand? > > > perldoc perlipc and read through the "Internet TCP Clients and Servers" > > section. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
