Yikes.  You're using the Pink Camel book, which is Perl 4.  Get the 2nd
Edition Blue Camel book, which has the code you want.  Actually, it is in
the perlipc man page (under MacPerl Help->Advanced Topics->Interprocess
Communication).  Use the non-threaded version of the server.

I prefer FTP for moving files.  And BBEdit (the commercial version, anyway,
I dunno about the lite version) has an FTP extension allowing you to save
files directly over FTP with the command-S keystroke.  Nifty.  I use
Anarchie or Fetch for bulk transfers.

Another (weird) option is to set up your own machine as a server (FTP,
HTTP, or whatever), and go telnet to the remote server to fetch the files.
