Re^4: Socket Listener

[sans-clue]

If anyone is still watching, this seems to get me started. I couldn't get the POE to work for me.

use IO::Socket; 
 my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( 
 LocalHost => 'nonsvch', 
 LocalPort => '6543', 
 Proto => 'tcp', 
 Listen => 1, 
 Reuse => 1, 
 ); 
 die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock;

my $new_sock = $sock->accept();
while(<$new_sock>) { 
 print $_; 
 } 
 close($sock);

It works ok if I telnet to it, type and hit return, but my feed has no CRLF, it does however have end of record strings
=*=
so how do I make it read without blocking for CRLF ? Thanks

Try using recv instead of the diamond operator.

Update: Or setting $/ = '=*=';
