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

How do I go about writing a multiple simultaneous connection server. I wrote a server that listens for any client and handles one client at a time before dealing with another, but I want to be able to make multiple connections at the same time. Are there any examples out there? Thanks.

    There is at least one good reference that covers writing servers that manage multiple simultaneous socket connections: Lincoln Stein's excellent Network Programing with Perl. If you are going to spend any appreciable amount of time writing socket clients or servers, this book is an invaluable reference.
