Looks like that may well be the case. I have only the free version and
your scripts work fine for me for both if(0) and if(1).

Sorry - I don't think I can improve on your speculation re the cause of
the problem.

However, if the server is altered so that it does not send $EOL at the
end of the message, then I still find no problem with the client script.
Even a simple '$line = <$sockhand>;' still works fine for me. It just
means that $line doesn't terminate with a newline. That seems to me to
be inconsistent with your speculation.

Being unable to reproduce the problem makes it hard for me to offer
anything very useful :-)

Cheers,
Rob
