I think the most likely problem in your code is here:

my $rhSet = IO::Select->select($readSet, undef, undef, 0);
foreach $rh(@rhSet)
{

Should it be my @rhSet = ...? Your @rshSet was never set in your script. It's a common error for new Perl programmers. You can catch these kinds of errors if you turn on the strict pragma with use strict; at the top of your code.

I recommend to use the cpan module Net::Server to write your server. Unless you are learning socket level programming, why bother with low level stuff when you have a well written module that does pretty much everything you want?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
