What are your criteria for "best" and "better"? IO::Socket is one way; it's fairly simple, a little easier to use than the base socket calls, but still a bit low-level. The base socket calls are similar to IO::Socket, but with more setup involved. POE is a good way of dealing with sockets; it responds with events, rather than explicit loops, and has a bit of a learning curve. Those are just a few of the possibilities.
