The easiest thing would be to forget about Net::Server and use telnet or ssh to launch the server script directly. That way tcpd or sshd will allocate the pseudo-terminal and negotiate with the client application (ssh or telnet) and you can just write a console app without worrying about the networking stuff. The next-easiest thing would be to forget about telnet and write a client-side script to interact with the user via Term::Readline and then send each completed line to the server-side script. That way you write a regular console application *and* a regular TCP server, but both of them are simple and well-supported by CPAN. Anything else is probably too complicated to bother with. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
