So I decided to goof around with my own socket to try and give it a quick practice. The code goes down to if (!$sockerr) but does not go beyond that. Again I plan to flesh it out more but right now I can't even get this to work.

If the socket opens it will go to the on *:SOCKOPEN: and so I wanted to test if it got there so I made it echo open if it got that far. If the script reaches SOCKREAD then it should echo read. If there is no error it should get to the line not yet. Lastly from what I understood in the tutorial, if the word "title is within the html page then it should go to the last part where it will respond by saying found. My problem is that it doesn't reach that point, only going as far as the echo not yet. The echoes are there to see how far the script got, but it stops after if (!sockerr) and doesn't go any farther.
