In your client, you should turn auto-flush on, by setting $| to a non-zero value. A snippet of how this would look like in your client code:
...
# This message is print, so I do get here!
# At the same tiome the server starts sending bars
$|++; # <-- Turns on automatic flusing after each write...
while (1) {
$line = <SOCK>;
print "\nGot1: ", $line;
...
Update: I've been playing with the code myself, and as tye pointed out in a reply below: you need to unbuffer the Client handle at server-side! This would make your server code look like this:
...
$SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER;
for ( ; $paddr = accept(Client,Server); close Client) {
# This will correctly set the autoflushing...
select( ( select(Client), $|++ )[0] );
my($port,$iaddr) = sockaddr_in($paddr);
my $name = gethostbyaddr($iaddr,AF_INET);
...

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).
