Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. I'm working for my owner, who can be reached I'm trying to created a multi-threaded server to accomplish some distributed processing. While compiling Perl with thread support, I noticed during 'make test' that io:multihomed and io:sock failed their tests, both reporting 'connection failed: timed out'. I know that I have network access. But when I wrote a client and server, and tried testing them on the localhost, they never seemed to connect. I used code straight out of "Perl Recipes". The two programs just hang, waiting for the other to connect. However, I receive no error messages. The socket *seems* to bind correctly. Are there any workarounds? Any wierd bugs? I'm using perl 5.6.1 (downloaded and compiled last night) on a RH linux 7. Much thanks. Cheers, Brett ---------------------------------------- Brett R. Gordon B.S.
