The fact that "you are still a novice in Perl" has nothing to do with socket's notions :) As you will see from defintions sent in previous post sockets are not specifics to Perl you can do "Socket Programming" with any decent programming language (C,Java,PHP,Python etc ..). With Perl, the module IO::Socket is certainly a good place to start. See: http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/ext/IO/lib/IO/Socket.pm
