niley has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: ⭐ (network programming)

When creating connections to servers, how can I use a particular interface to make the outgoing connection?
I currently create connections with the following code: 
IO::Socket::INET->new( PeerAddr => $Remote, PeerPort => $Port, Proto =
+> 'tcp' );

All pointers in the right direction appreciated.

    You can use IO::Socket::INET's LocalAddr property to force the packets out a specific interface.

    use IO::Scoket;
$socket= new IO::Socket(
                          LocalAddr=>$host,
                          LocalPort=>$port,
                          ..... #other arguments
                       ) or die "socket not created\n";

    the $host is the IP of the interface you want and the $port is the port number you want the service to run....
