Your ‘listen’ statement is in a loop. Therefore, the second time through the loop, the socket will be busy. As Uri suggested, you need to do the listen before the loop so you only do it once. Each iteration of the loop should fork, and the child branch should connect to the socket created by the parent process. The parent branch should do nothing in the loop. At some point, you will want to start waiting for the child branches to end and not exit the program until they have all completed running. See ‘perldoc perlipc’ for examples of parent and children processes communicating through a socket. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
