I have least knowledge on network domain.Please bare with my question if it is basic

I would like to know how to communicate between two applications using TCP/ip protocol in
windows XP say for example

Using Perl and TK I am building a GUI with entry widget and i have an other external application which is installed in the system say APPLICATION.exe

Now i need to establish the connection using TCP between my perl program and external application APPLICATION.exe

for testing purpose what ever I type in the GUI Entry this external application has to receive (hope it receives as bytes)and external application will send some data and i need to process that data in my perl program..

I am totally unaware whether this is simple task or complicated.
If there are any modules existing in perl for similar programming please suggest me.
I highly appreciate if anyone can provide me the answer with an example.

Thanks to all

    It is simple if you have done network programming before. If not, it is intermediately difficult because you need to get a grip on the underlying concepts and terminology first – read a book about the topic if necessary.

    I recommend to use IO::Socket::IP. If you have Perl 5.14 or later, you can also use IO::Socket::INET that is distributed with Perl. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/8582550/46395 for a code example and links to further documentation.
