OK, let's go for a more concrete question. What sequence of bytecodes would let me open a socket and talk to a remote host? The Parrot I/O operation opcodes don't mention anything about sockets and nor can I tell how I would invoke a piece of helper C or C++ to do the job on my behalf. Donal. -- Donal K.
