Just this weekend i (Or more precise, the script was from Klaus) had the
same problem. The solution is this line. (Replace SOCKED with the name you
use)

select (SOCKED) ; $| = 1

Explanation: You must change the socked-mode to UNBUFFERED. "Normaly" it
is in buffered mode. The data you write into the socked is NOT transfered
until you have more then ?? KB or you close the socked. (Or you issue a
flush-command, which i couldn't find)
