[PLUG] perl/socket question...

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

Title: perl/socket question...

OK. I'm starting to play with perl and sockets.

I tried this extremely basic server/client

SERVER
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use IO::Socket;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(LocalHost => '10.10.150.30',LocalPort => '2064',Proto => 'tcp',Listen => 1, Reuse=> 1,);

die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;
my $new_sock = $sock->accept();
while (defined(<$new_sock>)) {print $_;}
close ($sock)

CLIENT
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use IO::Socket;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(PeerAddr => '10.10.150.30', PeerPort => '2064', Proto => 'tcp',);
die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;
print $sock "Hello there!\n";
close($sock);

I start up the server side, no errors, so far so good (it listens fine).
I then (under another login), run the client side, also no errors, ends (as expected), and the server side ends also
  (as expected).

HOWEVER... the "Hello there\n" isn't displayed on the server side.
I also tried telnet to the port, and typing, and nothing that I type is displayed (on the server side).

Any ideas?
George
