Network Programming Question

[gnikol1]

Can anyone tell me if a single perl program can be server and client using the same or different ports?

Thanks a lot

Don't understand what you mean! Please explain a little more. What are you trying to do?

I am trying to write a script which is going to listen from one port an connect from another.
Is like the same process is client server in itself

What you're asking for is quite possible, have a look at the perlipc manpage. You can do that by checking the perl documentation on your machine either in html or by using 'perldoc perlipc' on the command line.

Have a play and then come ask again Mike

Is that a haiku?
