Thanks for the replies. I'll try your suggestions. In the meantime, here is some example code illustrating what I am doing:
use strict;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use IO::Socket;
my $keep_running : shared = 1;
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => "127.0.0.1", PeerPort =
+> 8080, Type => SOCK_STREAM, Proto => 'tcp');
my $sender_thread = threads->new(\&do_send, $socket);
my $listener_thread = threads->new(\&do_listen, $socket);
$sender_thread->detach();
$listener_thread->join();
$socket->close();
sub do_listen {
my $sock = shift;
STDOUT->autoflush(1);
while ($keep_running) {
my $message = $sock->getline();
last unless defined($message);
print $message;
}
}
sub do_send {
my $sock = shift;
while (my $line = <STDIN>) {
$sock->print($line);
$sock->flush();
}
$keep_running = 0;
}

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.
