You need to 'accept' the socket. The old socket is then reused: print "Incoming connection detected!\n";
my $new_sock = $listen_sock->accept
or die "Could not accept socket: $!";
then you should do a
recv $new_sock,$z,10000,0;
to read from your socket. tye will tell you that <SOCKET> is bad, mmmmkay?
Sorry.. too tipsy to do more than cut and paste from my own code.
As near as I can tell 'accept' clones the socket, then goes back to listening on the old one. If anyone here would care to explain...
The docs are pretty short on this operation. Going through other people's code is the best way in this case.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
