Try perldoc IO::Socket. Here's a little example:
use IO::Socket;
$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new
(
PeerAddr => '1.1.1.1',
PeerPort => #<open port e.g. 80>,
Proto => "tcp",
Type => SOCK_STREAM
) or die "Could Not open port";
print $socket "Server message\n";
close($socket);
Now, how you interpret messages on the other side is up to you. You can write a server program that mirrors this example above, you can use something like tcpdump with the '-x' option for hexidecimal encoding and decode the message, or you may already have something.

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).
