Are you sure you need fork for this? Why not just do something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Pseudo-Perl; some code shortened to ellipses or text.
use IO::Socket;
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(...) or die "...";
while (not yet done) # Not sure how you want to determine this
{
my $line;
print $sock "send this to server\n";
chomp($line = <$sock>);
#<process $line (one line read from server's response)>
}
__END__
Also note that
$fork_errlvl = 1 unless defined $pid;
die "Error forking client: Reason: $!\n" if $fork_errlvl != 0;
can be shortened to
die "..." unless defined $pid;
or, better IMHO,
defined($pid) or die "..."
both of which eliminate the unnecessary variable.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
