in reply to Network programming using sockets

The ``socket-fu'' of Perl is very much cross-platform. So, almost any example you find on Perl-UNIX socket programming, should work with windows.
To get back to your question: yes, IO::Socket::INET is a good point to start. In addition: you can find many good examples of socket-programming in the perlipc manpage.
