The Net::Gen module provides basic services for handling socket-based communications. It supports no particular protocol family directly, however, so it is of direct use primarily to implementors of other modules. To this end, several housekeeping functions are provided for the use of derived classes, as well as several inheritable methods.
The Net::Hotline module simply loads Net::Hotline::Client. For more information on the Net::Hotline::Client module, please see its documentation. For more information on Hotline, see http://www.hotlinesw.com/
