Why? So Mark's reply wasn't overly helpful. Troy chipped in later with
more concrete help (Net::Server and other CPAN goodness being excellent
suggestions for saving youself the hassle of reinventing the wheel).

"Professional" as in "sending a rather stroppy response to a post on a
publicly archived mailing list using your corporate email address
professional"?
But aside from that, "Minneapolis Perl Mongers is a user group for anyone
interested in the Perl programming language"[0]. No-one ever said anything
about professional. You'll get some helpful responses, and some less
helpful ones. When asking for free help, you run the risk of getting what
you paid for. Frustrating, I know, especially when mired in complex
debugging.
You did post a lot of code, which is rather too much to take in without a
lot of effort. Perhaps if you cut it down to a smaller test case it might
be easier for people to grasp and debug. Help us to help you, etc.

Perhaps. You came, you asked a question, you got an answer you didn't
like. Feel free to throw your toys out of your stroller. Or you could stay
and contribute and help make the group better. Everyone has their off
days, and it would be a shame to lose a local perlmonger because of one
post.
We reserve the right to reference Monty Python sometimes though.
