No, don't do this.  Do the correct thing:

$NWNL = "\015\012";

When using MacPerl, "\r\n" is, quite properly, the same as "\012\015";

One reason to use tools like IO::Socket is that you can $socket->autoflush(1);
In your code below you need to:

select((select(Seraph),$| = 1)[0]);

I believe, to get the print's unbuffered.

Even if you don't want to use libnet, at least take a look at the code that
Net::Cmd uses to make a connection, because that does work under MacPerl.
Unless you really like futzing around, it's a whole lot faster to get
something running if you borrow some code that's know to be correct or use
the tools available with the standard MacPerl distribution.
