I am having problems with an example from the on-line book Beginning Perl
Out of curiosity, what online book is this? Can you send the URL ?
[...] the server's IP address: 127.0.0.1. Both say the connection is refused.
Of course it is -- 127.0.0.1 is always "localhost", or the "loopback address". All computers using TCP/IP to connect to the internet have at least two addresses: 127.0.0.1 (which only works locally, e.g. if you have a web server running on your desktop then you can test it by using 127.0.0.1 but that address won't work anywhere else) and some other IP
address which can be reached on the local network & possibly anywhere.
So -- you're not using your server's "real" address, and nothing else you've done is going to get around this :-)
Make sense?
