Okay, I was trying to write a chat script for perl with tk for the GUI on active perl 5.8. But whenever I use the $socket->listen() function to connect to the client, the script always hangs on me. Any ideas as to how to avoid this problem (I've tried numerous codes including the one from webmonkey).

Another question dealing with the same kind of scenario. I use activestate perl 5.8 and whenever I open a socket, the print command stops displaying text. Does anyone know a workaround/why this happens?
