Greetings Monk,
Welcome to Perl Monks. Since this is your first day in the Monastery you may want to consider reading this tutorial as well as this one just as an overview of how to use the Monastery.

Getting down to more brass tacks let me also suggest this tutorial.

Even more to the point it would seem that you are struggling with the concept of context within Perl. This tutorial will help with that.

To give you fish for the day let me say that this:

my $host, $port, $request, $proto = 'tcp';
[download]

is not doing what you think it is and this

my ($host, $port, $request, $proto) = ('tcp');
[download]

might work better for you.

Let me finish by saying that posting a question on one forum, getting answers and then posting on another forum is not a great way to make friends and influence people. A lot of the monks here visit multiple forums and it doesn't set well to see the same questions asked multiple places after they've been answered.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
