Port Litening in Perl

[skosterow]

Heya Guys and gals i have been looking for a while now for some type of perl module that will listen on a spcified port - and say if via this i send a command to do something it will execute lines of code on a remote machine. I have the perl dev kit but i dont know what module to use on the remote machine that will listen for inbound commands / messages. the commands need only be one word or one variable long.

Help
