Hi,
I am very new to perl. In fact, I am trying to write my first perl app
ever. I would like it to do peer to peer networking. I have always been
a C programmer and if I wanted to do this in C I would use threads and
have one accepting connections and one initiating connections. Well, I
read that thread support for perl was experimental and you had to
recompile perl to include a thread.pm module. I really don't want to do
that since not very many people would then want to use my program. Also
I read that using fork was a bad idea when trying to write portable code.
So what would be the best way to be able to both accept and initiate
network connections in perl? I want it to be portable. I assume some
kind of concurrency would be needed but then again I havce only been
using perl for a week.
Thanks,
Ryan
