I forwarded this note to RH list because as I do, there are many on the list that work with perl. It's off topic and hopefully won't be an inconvenience. My apologies to any for whom it is an inconvenience.
Hope this off topic issues won't offend anyone. I need to write some servers and clients in perl. Not web page servers like Apache. O'Reilly has a good out of print but now on-line book on writing clients in perl. Plus Perl in a Nutshell (which I've already got) gives the important syntax for doing this in both clients and servers. However, I need more detail and some working examples and it appears the the Advanced Perl book does not provide sufficient coverage. I'm not particularly concerned what the example(s) do as I'm just trying to get a better grasp of how the code within the server allows interaction with the client. If anyone can recommend a good book with working examples, or a URL to an internet tutorial location covering this subject, or some free perl software specifically for some kind (any kind) of client/server situation I would very much appreciate the information. Sorry, if this note inconveniences anyone, and thanks to all in advance. Bye-thanks_TED
