The problem is probably in your conditionals; $command == 'start' compares $command and 'start' as numbers, likely converting them both to zero first then finding them always equal. You probably meant to use $command eq 'start', etc.

You may find it useful to switch to a dispatch table instead of a whole bunch of if statements:

sub handle_start { my($client,$param) = @_; print $client "Welcome to the game: $param\n"; } # ... more commands ... my %commands = ( start => \&handle_start, # ... more ... ); sub handle { # ... if (not exsits $commands{$commands}) { # bad command } else { # run command $commands{$command}->($client,$param); } # ... }

(A side note: split always treats it's first argument as a regex, even if it is single-quoted like you have it. As a matter of style, I would advise using /<div>/ or similar so as not to make it look like it doesn't take a regex...)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
