Socket programming is lumped under "interprocess communication" (IPC) 
in the perldocs, so just do a "perldoc perlipc" to take a look at 
the included examples (jump *way* down to the string "limited"). You 
can also view it online:

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlipc.html#Sockets--Client-Server-Communication

Here is a shorter introduction to the subject:
http://www.perlfect.com/articles/sockets.shtml

Also, if you can get a hold of the books "Programming Perl" 
or the "Perl Cookbook" (the camel and the ram (ok a bighorn sheep)) 
both have excellent sections on writing socket code. (See chapter 
17 of the sheep, and chapter 6 of the camel). 

By far the best resource off all of the above is the Perl Cookbook, 
but all of them have some simple socket recipes to get you going.

By the way, please turn off "send as HTML" in your email program.
