I have used sockets with MacPerl quite successfully. I used direct calls as
described in the Camel book, without external libraries (though I hear good
things about FTPlib and other libraries.) I've written a mini-Web server
and a mini-SMTP server in MacPerl. As long as you can live with one
connection at a time, it should work fine. I'm not aware of any way to have
2 or more simultaneous connections in MacPerl because it doesn't support
process forking.
