You mean a TCP server or the like?

You can use the model for the IO::Socket::APPLETALK server, which uses the
same paradigm and methods as the rest of IO::Socket.  Here is a quick
snippet straight from the IO::Socket manpage.  I'll see about including
some code or at least a pointer in the chapter.

  #!perl -w
  use strict;
  use IO::Socket;
  my($server, $client);
  $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(Listen    => 5,
                                LocalAddr => 'localhost',
                                LocalPort => 9000,
                                Proto     => 'tcp') or die($@);
  while ($client = $server->accept()) {
    print $client "Connect!\015\012";
    print "Connect!\n";
    close($client);
  }

Then I go to a Unix box and type:

  telnet whatever.i.am.com 9000

And that's it.
