in thread what else from port ?

The thing I am look for is exactly in server nature. It's just I am trying to get avoid from going through the TCP layer.

For example, I have a daemon keep monitoring different folders. And while certain condition happen to the files, it raise another perl script to ask for what to do about them. I will input some command via STDIN, and then send back to the daemon server.

For another example, I have a shortcut on desktop, and I can drop files to it, and it calls a script with a file list as ARGV. the scrip then ask the server if they are identical to some existed files. ( The server has carried all the MD5 code of the monitoring (sub)folders ).

Windows supports a wealth of IPC mechanisms: Clipboard: Win32::Clipboard COM: Win32::OLE Data Copy DDE File Mapping Mailslots (Named) Pipes: Win32::Pipe RPC Sockets: Built-in. However, IFAIK, only a few of those are available from Perl. And some of those are via not well tested modules (eg. Win32::Pipe). To decide which is appropriate for each particular application, you have to understand the pros & cons of each mechanism. To get advise, you need to supply specific details of each application. You can start your investigations here.
