I'd try setting $/ to the ; at the end, see if that terminates a call to readline:
... local $/=';'; while (defined($buf=$sock->getline)) { # parse $buf here } ...
HTH,

    Hi SSF, It didn't work, it still waits for newline to parse get the imput. Is there anyway to get the contents of the buffer after a specific timeout? that way I could just process the contents of $buf wheater is a 96 byte string or the other format. Thanks! Carlos
      hi.. i am in the same stuff, but different issue. to solve your problem i use "IO::Handle->input_record_separator(')');" it helps me to separate each gps records. it works fine. i cant get "Net::Server::PreFork;" work yeat.
