rbhat007 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have written a simple TCP chat server using IO:Socket but once I get the server to listen, it will not go on to execute the rest of the program (because it waits for a connection). Is there any way to start the one subroutine of the server listening in the background?
