in reply to Socket Programming

You don't need to worry about all that... (especially packets and how they really work).

All modern operating systems and programming languages (and libraries) allow access on a higher level, actual access to packets is rarely needed (except for sniffing, intrusion detection, ...etc.);

If you want to create a client and a server I recommend using Net::EasyTCP as another poster said.

See my post about making any script that uses stadard input and standard output to Servers using xinetd in this thread.
