Well, generally, the client writes the request
to the server, then waits for a response from
the server. So, in the client:
print $server "FOO request\n";
my $response = <$server>;
# or my $bytes_read = read($server, $response, 4192);
# or whatever--basically, just read from the server
And the server accepts connections, reads the
requests, handles them, then sends back data:
my $client = $server->accept;
my $request = <$client>;
# do something with the request
# generate a response
print $client $response;
close $client;
This is very dumbed-down, but it gets across
the general idea, I think. Is that what you
were asking?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
