Hi All! I'm pretty new to working with sockets in perl, looked around for days for a proper solution for my IRC/DCC problem but couldn't find one.
The connection to the server uses a socket with a neverending while loop: sub connection { # Make The Initial Server Connection! # $con = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$server", PeerPort=>"$port", Proto=>'tcp', Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n"; while($answer = <$con>) { <http://www.perlmonks.org/?abspart=1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=718 388;part=1> All works fine untill i want to make a DCC connection using another socket: $dcc = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$2", PeerPort=>"$3", Proto=>'tcp', Timeout=>'30') || print "Error! $!\n"; print $dcc "Connection Established!\n"; while ($talk = <$dcc>) { <http://www.perlmonks.org/?abspart=1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=718 388;part=2> The first loop is being blocked? I only receive input/output from the second loop untill this one is closed again, then the first loop continues.... How can i get a continuous flow from both? I've read some bits about IO::Socket::Select, and have also been playing with multiple threads, but i prefer the first option... Any help is very appreciated! - Marco van Kammen Springer System Manager & Postmaster - Van Godewijckstraat 30 | 3311 GX Office Number: 05E21 P.O.
