Re: sockaddr_in() timeout or asynchone call ?

don't use most perl code you find on the net. too much of it sucks and
is for kiddies.

OK, daddy ;)

LWP (the perl web client modules) is now in the core distribution. but
that still means making sure your servers have a recent perl. if you
can't load modules (which you can as a normal user so that is not a
valid excuse) then how would you load a recent perl?

I will have to install the script on several servers, we the less upt to
date being with Perl 5.00503 under FreeBSD

>> my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new( "$host:$port" ) ;

A> Is that the only line to change in the sub ?

no. it replaces all the crappy socket code you copied. another point is

Understood

A> print hpSOCK "GET $path HTTP/1.1\015\012";
A> print hpSOCK "Host: $host\015\012\015\012";

all that code is handled by LWP so use it instead of the crap you
copied.

Yes, but I don't want to consider the GET return (neither header nor
server response content). My subject is just to push url parameters
toward the remote cgi !

Well, someone in fr.comp.lang.perl suggest me to go through fork like
this for the purpose to do thing be no-blocking for the rest of the
script (as I wish) :

my $child = fork;
die "fork: $!\n" unless defined $child;
return if $child;

What do you mean about this way ? It's a little bit obscur for me and
don't really see how to embed a call to my sub this way...
