ok here is my code
print "Opening the file\n"; open(F,"<$pair1[1]");
print "changing the mode to bin\n";
binmode F;
#binmode $new_sock;
my $bufsize = 100;
my $buffer=0;
my $n = sysread(F,$buffer,$bufsize);
print "the value of n is $n\n"; close(F);
my problem starts with the line my $n = sysread... the third last line. the $bufsize is the amount of bytes to be read from the file. because every file will be of a different length so i cant know how much the value will be. so how do i know the size of a file in bytes.
the next problem is receiving the data on the client side.
can any one write a piece of code how to receive the data on the client end.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
