[comp.lang.perl] Help needed in using perl for IPC

thok@lulea.telesoft.se (Thomas Kalla) (11/22/90)

	Hi netlanders,

	I'm currently involved in a small project where I need to create
	processes on a SUN Work Station that communicate through TCP/UDP
	using the Berkley socket concept. I was told that perl is a suitable
	tool for doing that.

	Since I have no experience at all from using perl, I would really
	appreciate any help at all in using perl for interprocess communi-
	cation.

	What I need is a number of perl scripts implementing a dumb com-
 	munication partner

	- one for receiving tcp messages (using the socket, bind, listen,
	  accept operations)

	- one for sending tcp messages (using the socket, bind, connect
	  operations and with possibility to set time interval between
	  message sendings and number of messages to be sent)

	- one for echoing of received message data back to sender.

	No processing of carried data is necessary (maybe print it out on
	standard output).


	Thanx in advance!
