Perl socket programming tutorial
Socket programming in perl can be done using the low level socket functions or the IO::Socket module.The IO::Socket module provides an object-oriented interface to the socket functions.
In this tutorial we are going to use the low level socket functions.

实例1：连接百度端口80
[root@dou Socket]# cat 1.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
# The socket function can be used to create a socket.In the following code example we shall create a tcp socket.
use Socket;

my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp'); # get the tcp protocol
# Create a socket handle(descriptor)
socket(SOCKET,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) or die "cant create socket:$!\n";
# Connecting to a remote server
my $remote = 'www.baidu.com';
my $port = 80;
my $iaddr= inet_aton($remote) or die "unable to resolve hostname: $remote\n";
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port,$iaddr); # socket address structure

connect(SOCKET,$paddr) or die "connect failed : $!\n";
print "Connected to $remote on port $port\n";

# Close a socket
close SOCKET,
exit(0);

In the above example we connected to baidu.com on port 80.
Before the connect function is called the sockaddr_in structure has to be setup.
The sockaddr_in structure stores the information about the remote address,
address type and port number. The inet_aton function converts a hostname/ip to
ip address in long number format.

[root@dou Socket]# cat 1.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
# The socket function can be used to create a socket.In the following code example we shall create a tcp socket.
use Socket;
use Encode;

my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp'); # get the tcp protocol
# Create a socket handle(descriptor)
socket(SOCKET,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) or die "cant create socket:$!\n";
# Connecting to a remote server
my $remote = 'www.baidu.com';
my $port = 80;
my $iaddr= inet_aton($remote) or die "unable to resolve hostname: $remote\n";
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port,$iaddr); # socket address structure

connect(SOCKET,$paddr) or die "connect failed : $!\n";
print "Connected to $remote on port $port\n";

# Send data
# Once connected it's time to start communication by sending some data.The send function can be used for this.
# Send some data to remote server - the HTTP GET command
send(SOCKET,"GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n",0) or die "send failed:$!\n";

# Receive reply from server - perl way of reading from stream.
# Can also do recv(SOCKET,$msg,2000,0).
while(my $line = ) {
#       $line = encode_utf8($line);
        $line = encode("utf-8",decode("gbk",$line));#（translate gbk code to utf-8 code）
        print "$line\n";
}
# Close a socket
close SOCKET,
exit(0);

Revise

In the above examples we learned the following socket operations.

1. Create a socket
2. Connect to remote server/system.
3. Send data
4. Receive a reply

The socket program we wrote above is called a client.
A client connects to a remote server for exchange of information/data.
Apart from the client the other type of socket program we are going to write is called a server.
The server serves data to clients connecting to it.
So lets move on to the next section to do some server programming in perl.

Server

The basic steps for making a server are :

1. Create a socket
2. Bind to a local address and local port
3. Listen for incoming connections
4. Accept incoming connections
5. Communicate the with the newly connected client - send and receive data.

So a server does not connect out to a system, instead it waits for incoming connections.
We have already seen how to create a socket.
So the next task to make a server would be to bind the socket.
The bind function can be used for this task.

Lets take a quick example

[root@dou Socket]# cat server.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Socket;
$| = 1;

#create a socket handle(descriptor)
socket(SERVER,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,(getprotobyname('tcp'))[2]) or die "cant create socket :$!\n";
#bind to local port 10000
my $port = 10000;
#the socket is bound to port 10000 and address "any".After bind the socket has to be put in listen mode.
bind(SERVER,sockaddr_in($port,INADDR_ANY)) or die "bind failed:$!\n";
# listening the incoming connections
listen(SERVER,10);
print "Server is now listening...\n";
# After calling listen,the socket is ready to accept incoming connections using the accept function.
This shall be done in a loop so that the program can accept connections again and again.

#accept incoming connections and talt to clients
while(1) {
        my $addrinfo = accept(TALK,SERVER);
        my($port,$iaddr) = sockaddr_in($addrinfo);
        my $clienthost = gethostbyaddr($iaddr,AF_INET);
        print "Connection accepted from $clienthost:$port\n";
        # send some message to the client
        print TALK "hello client how are you\n";
        close TALK;
}

#close the socket
close SERVER;
exit(0);
[root@dou socket]# telnet localhost 10000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
hello client how are you
Connection closed by foreign host.

指定server的ip地址：
[root@dou Socket]# cat 2.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Socket;
$| = 1;

#create a socket handle(descriptor)
socket(SERVER,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,(getprotobyname('tcp'))[2]) or die "cant create socket :$!\n";
#bind to local port 10000
my $port = 10000;
my $server = "192.168.0.6";
my $iaddr = inet_aton($server);
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port,$iaddr);
#the socket is bound to port 10000 and address "any".After bind the socket has to be put in listen mode.
bind(SERVER,$paddr) or die "bind failed:$!\n";
# listening the incoming connections
listen(SERVER,10);
print "Server is now listening...\n";
# After calling listen,the socket is ready to accept incoming connections using the accept function. This shall be done in a loop so that the program can accept connections again and again.

#accept incoming connections and talt to clients
while(1) {
        my $addrinfo = accept(TALK,SERVER);
        my($port,$iaddr) = sockaddr_in($addrinfo);
        my $clienthost = gethostbyaddr($iaddr,AF_INET);
        print "Connection accepted from $clienthost:$port\n";
        # send some message to the client
        print TALK "hello client how are you\n";
        close TALK;
}

#close the socket
close SERVER;
exit(0);

高级技术：
Asynchronouse I/O
Multiple clients can be handled by asynchronous event driven I/O. IO::Select can be used for this.
[root@dou Socket]# cat iosocket.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Socket;
use IO::Select;

$| = 1;
my $socket;
my $servtoclient;
#create a socket handle(descriptor)
my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
socket($socket,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) or die "create socket failed:$!\n";

#bind to local port
my $port = 10001;
my $server = "192.168.0.6";
my $iaddr = inet_aton($server);
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port,$iaddr);
bind($socket,$paddr) or die "bind failed:$!\n";

#listen incoming connections
listen($socket,10);
print "Server $server on port $port is now listening ...\n";

#accept incoming connections and talk to clients
my $select = IO::Select->new();
$select->add($socket);
while(1) {
        my @ready = $select->can_read(0);
        foreach my $select_io(@ready) {
                #new connection read
                if($select_io == $socket) {
                        my $clientinfo = accept($servtoclient,$socket);
                        my($clientport,$clientiaddr) = sockaddr_in($clientinfo);
                        my $clienthost = gethostbyaddr($clientiaddr,AF_INET);
                        print "Connection accepted from $clienthost : $clientport\n";

                        # send some message to the client
                        send($servtoclient,"Hello client[$clienthost]! Nice to meet you !\n",0);
                        $select->add($servtoclient);
                }
                # existing client read
                else {
                        chop(my $clientinput = <$select_io>);
                        chop($clientinput);
                        if ($clientinput =~ /quit/i) {
                                $select->remove($select_io);
                                $select_io->close;
                        }else {
                                print "Received -- $clientinput\n";

                                # send reply back to client
                                send($select_io,"OK : $clientinput\n",0);
                        }
                }
        }
}

#close the socket
close $socket;
exit(0);
server端运行命令
[root@dou Socket]# perl iosocket.pl &
[1] 3580
[root@dou Socket]# Server 192.168.0.6 on port 10001 is now listening ...

[root@dou Socket]#

客户端访问：下面是服务器返回的信息
[root@dou ~]# telnet 192.168.0.6 10001
Trying 192.168.0.6...
Connected to dou.perl.gov (192.168.0.6).
Escape character is '^]'.
Hello client[dou.perl.gov]! Nice to meet you !
同时server端也返回信息：
[root@dou Socket]# Connection accepted from dou.perl.gov : 42617

客户端开始发送信息：
ls---->send
OK : ls ---->receive
hello---->send
OK : hello ---->receive
hello world---->send
OK : hello world ---->receive
同时server端也返回信息：
Received -- ls
Received -- hello
Received -- hello world

下面是更经典的iosocket程序：
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Socket;
use IO::Select;

$| = 1;
my $path = "/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin";

#bind to local port
my $port = 10001;
my $server = "192.168.0.6";
my $iaddr = inet_aton($server);
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port,$iaddr);

                                chop($clientinput);
                                $clientinput =~ s/^[ \t]*//;
                                if ($clientinput =~ /quit/i) {

                                }else {
                                        @lines = split(/[ ]/,$clientinput);
                                        chomp($command = $lines[0]);
                                        foreach my $dir (@paths) {
                                                search($dir);
                                                if ($hit == 1) {
                                                        last; # （跳出foreach循环jump out the loop of foreach）
                                                }
                                        }
                                        if ($hit != 0) {
                                                send($select_io, "Command is [$command]:\n",0);
                                                 $reply = `$clientinput`;
                                                 #send reply back to client

                                        }
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
}

#close the socket
close $socket;
exit(0);

sub search {
        my $dir = shift;
        opendir(DIR,"$dir") or die "cant open dir:$dir:$!\n";
        my @files = readdir(DIR);
        closedir(DIR);
        foreach my $file (@files) {
                next if ($file =~ m/^\.$/ || $file =~ m/^\.\.$/);
                if ("$file" eq "$command") {
                $hit += 1;
                return(0);
                }  else {
                        $hit = 0;
                }
        }
}

服务器端：
[root@dou Socket]# perl 7.pl &
[1] 3641
[root@dou Socket]# Server 192.168.0.6 on port 10001 is now listening ...

[root@dou Socket]# Connection accepted from dou.perl.gov : 33965

客户端：

上述程序的说明：
1）服务器端perl 7.pl &将程序至于后台运行
2）客户端使用telnet进行测试
3）可以输入linux中常用的命令：比如：ls hostname ifconfig eth0等。并且命令的前面可以有多个空格或者tap键。
4）该程序通过搜索系统$PATH路径来确定输入的string是否是一个命令，如果是系统命令的话将$hit的值加1，程序
通过控制$hit的值来觉得是否输出命令的结果，还是单纯的字符串。
