Re: Using IO::Socket to login to a server

It's hard to say without knowing the protocol.
Is it telnet?
If so, how about Net::Telnet
or
IO::Socket::Telnet
?
You can pick these up on Cpan.

I believe the protocol used is tcp. Can I send the user name to the server by just printing to the socket or is there another way?	[reply]

TCP isn't precise enough. Imagine two people communicating. They can communicate in English, in French, etc. They can communicate verbally, in writing, etc They can communicate over a phone, using snail mail, using a video, etc. By picking TCP, you picked something from the second line, but you still have haven't picked a language. Is it a Telnet server? an SSH server? HTTP? FTP? ...	[reply]

THe server is SSH. That means that the client have to log in to a SSH server then connect to the chat server using IO::Socket::INET This doesnt seem very reasonable, if not impossible.	[reply]
