Without knowing anything about the apps, I'm guessing best-bet would be to find out what command line args it will accept and then use system(). Or, if it doesn't do anything from command line, run the actual client and snoop the communication to find out what port(s) and protocol(s) it uses. And, if you're lucky it will communicate in clear text. Otherwise, you would have to perform various tasks with the client, see what binary data is sent/received, and experiment by sending data using IO::Socket. If you have to do the latter, do it on a development server if at all possible. Good luck. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
