Information transfer over the internet

Hello
I would like to transfer some information between two computers with
internet connection. One computer should act as a server and the other as a
client. I really don't know much about sockets, ports or protocols.

I played around some with the code below but i reallt don't know what I am
doing. The module Net::Server::NonBlocking2 is the same as
Net::Server::NonBlocking, but I removed some error checking due to problems
with unimplemented perl funcions on my PC. This actually givs some
information to a browser when I type http://127.0.0.1:10000. This however
isn't working properly.I actually have to close the client to get any
response at all. There must be some modules that easily and nicely can do
something like the quasicode below.

Please assist me.
/jN

_CODE_
use Net::Server::NonBlocking2;
$|=1;

$obj=Net::Server::NonBlocking2->new({"pidfile" => "tmppid.pid"});
$obj->add({
server_name => 'tic tac toe',
local_port => 10000,
timeout => 60,
delimiter => "\n",
on_connected => \&ttt_connected,
on_disconnected => \&ttt_disconnected,
on_recv_msg => \&ttt_message,
});
our $cnt="000";
$obj->start;
sub ttt_connected {
my $self=shift;
my $client=shift;
print "connect:\t$client\n";
}
sub ttt_disconnected {
my $self=shift;
my $client=shift;
print "disconnect:\t$client\n";
}
sub ttt_message {
my $self=shift;
my $client=shift;
my $message=shift;
print "(mess ",$cnt++,")\n";
print "$message\n";
print $client "dfgdg: message<BR>testmessage<BR>";
$client->close;
}

_QUASICODE_

server:
while (1) {
if (&new_message) {
my $input=&message;
my $output=&parse($input);
&send_message($output);
} else {
sleep(5);
}
}

client:
my $request="Give me checksum of C:/Tmp/test.txt";
my $answer=&send_request($request,"mycomp.mynet.com") or "Die no answer!";
&handle($answer);

Check out:

perldoc perlipc

at a command prompt, particulary the section titled "Internet TCP
Clients and Servers".  There is example code there which should
get you on your way.

I suggest you look at the section that deals with sockets in any Perl
tutorial.

In the standard Perl documentation there's some socket examples in perlipc.
