I recently started messing with perl sockets and I was wondering if it is possible to do any of the following:
- Pre-shared key, to act as some sort of authentication. Currently I have it checking the peer address, but I figure that could be spoofed. - Stream large amounts of data, IE tar to stdout on one end and tar to stdin on the other and run it over the socket. Due to firewall's our only option is to pipe over ssh, but that seems to put a higher load on the servers than we like Thanks, Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
