Yes, I found a doc about that (or had it pointed out to me).

I couldn't figure out how to answer successfully, though. It seemed
trivial, but didn't work for me.

Then I thought: Maybe I can get Net::Telnet to do it for me, and then
I'll let the connection serve as the socket. That didn't work for me
either.

For now, I'm just opening sockets onto my little customized server --
a text adventure that currently has only five rooms.  :)
