Chapter 1. Input/Output Basics

This chapter provides you with the background information you'll need to write TCP/IP applications in Perl. We review Perl's input/output (I/O) system using the language's built-in function calls, and then using the object-oriented (OO) extensions of Perl5. This will prepare you to use the object-oriented constructions in later chapters.
