I'd like to use ngrep and/or perl to monitor the incoming data stream on a socket, then, when the appropriate characters arrive, like in this case, the string "192.168.1.101:8080", input to the data stream a redirect to another ipaddress, such as "192.168.1.102"

Is this even possible?

I'm trying to grep the output of ngrep. Unfortunately when I add another grep to the pipeline, I get no output at all.
