Hello list,

I've been playing with sockets a bit lately.

I've studied and run this client/server example:
  http://www.qiksearch.com/articles/perl_sockets.htm

I've been looking at
 
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/97/18/index2a_page2.html?tw=programming

also trying to wrap the old noggin around Sockets...

I'd like to play around with this also but I'm not sure how I'd go about
writing a client for that...

I looked at the client example in the first link but I'm not sure how to
  do anything but send() data.

How do I also get what the server sends back?

Would I have to accept() and recv() right after I send()?

How about accept() and recv() when I havn't entered anything where/how
would that go?

Any pointers would be most appreciated :)
