First suggestion: use strict;<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:courier new,monospace" class="gmail_default">OK, I added strict.

In particular, I can't tell what you mean by $rsp<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:courier new,monospace" class="gmail_default">$rsp is the receive buffer that'll contain each response to my broadcast.</div><div style="font-family:courier new,monospace" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:courier new,monospace" class="gmail_default"><br></div></div></div>
