in thread Socket recv?

The return values are different from the values the parameters are set to. For example, if you look here, you will see that 
  $socket->send ("example"\n");

really should be: 
  my $retval = $socket->send("example\n");
  # make sure $retval is defined, and contains the length of the strin
+g

ditto for the recv call.

As for closing the socket, I understand that *you* are not closing it, but there are 2 sides to every connection :).
