Hi, I basically want to create a server program in perl that does two
thing:
1) can receive a request, with parameters from the client to execute a
command with those parameter, and
2) executes the command, and returns some form of output (in this case
a a few 10kilobyte images).
whats the best way to do this? or is there a better way to do this
besides through perl? i've never done network programming so please be
nice :-).
