A better example of reading and writing to a socket would be in
mh/code/examples/socket_test.pl.   I don't think I actually tested that
code, but it should work :)

Another example is mh/code/bruce/lcdproc.pl and
mh/code/bruce/monitor_shoutcast.pl.  The latter is a bit of a messy example,
because in addition to reading and writing to a shoutcast server socket, it
also allows for monitoring a shoutcast server by tailing a log file.

Let me know if you need more help or a better example.  If/when you get your
code working, don't forget to send it in for our collection!
