Well, this has all been fun [and funny] reading. For the OP's sake, though, how
aboult Wolf's suggestion:
IO::Socket
What kind of experiences have folks had with this? Do others see this as a
useful entry point to Perl networking?
Servers are a lot of what I do. I've written fork()ing and non-blocking servers in Perl just using the basic tools, like the mentioned IO::Socket, plus IO::Select, etc. It's very doable, but I believe it falls more under the "...hard things possible" slant of Perl philosophy. It's a lot of work.
I can't provide much feedback myself, since I haven't really ventured into LAN
programming, but I am interested finding good entry points.
At the top of my To Learn When I Have Time list is POE. I'll definitely get to that before I find myself writing another server. I think that's a much better choice than working out the low-level networking mess by hand.
Right, Wiggins? :D
After a long delay, absolutely... though I still intend on getting into the guts of it at some point, but if I needed a server in production I would start with POE...
By the way, Snowmass was great! ;-)
