Great documentation! We should all take notes.
One suggestion, relating to section 3.2: Step2 and your comment about
fax_poller_client.pl and "I could not figure out how to simply send the
data as a parameter to nc (netcat)": instead of the request_file
dance, since you're using a system call what about echo-ing the
parameters and piping to your nc command? Does the same thing I would
think since it'll be coming into nc as STDIN. Then you can shorten your
script by 4 lines. Example:
system ("echo `$parameters\n` | nc my.mydomain.com 9696");
I'm not even certain you need the newline, either. In fact I would think
you don't.
