in reply to Socket Programming

IMHO, the references on TCP/IP and Unix network programming are TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 and Unix Network Programming, Volume 1, 3rd Edition, both the late W. Richard Stevens.

    Those are excellent picks, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend reading Network Programming with Perl in order to make those even more accessible.

    You are indeed correct, Stevens is the ultimate arbiter here. But, from the tone of the original posting, I suspect that Stein will be a more appropriate introduction.
