You might look at the standard rdist(1) utility for this kind of thing.
For crafting network daemons in Perl, Net::Daemon is a good place to start,
IMO.
What I am trying to do is too complex to successfully implement using a standard utility like rdist or CVS. Besides, rolling my own is so much more interesting. :-D
Spoken like a man who REALLY needs a copy of Network Programming with Perl. ;)
