Does anybody have links to examples of IO::Socket?

All I have been able to find is the manpage.
The perlipc man page has some good examples on creating client/server applications. Also read IO::Select if your server needs to talk to more than one client at a time.

In the lists opinion, how robust is IO::Socket?  Is it limited in what it
can do?  I'm looking to setup a client/server connection and pass large
amount of data thru in a short amount of time.

Take a look at the Net-Daemon, NetServer-Generic or the PlRPC modules but be aware that you might have problems with forks and threads under Win32 (used to be a problem but I've looked at this since 5.8 was released).

Finally, Advanced Perl Programming has a couple of chapters on Networking:
