ok guys i got it : now i am facing a problem : my aim is to create a socket program with concurrent server so what i do is from my client i try connecting to a port initially and when it fails i just transfer a tar file with a perl script to server and run a server program , now i am stuck in system() from which i invoke the script on the server because this server will keep listening till the end of time (machine is off) and my system gets hung, is there any way i can get out of this system() even though the server should keep running, the test function is similar to system but is more robust 9 from open ssh package) 

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new ( $hostmachine, user =>$username, password
+ => $password);
  
  $ssh->scp_put($sourcedir,$sourcedir2,$remote_path)
       or die "scp failed \n" . $ssh->error;
  
  my $rc = $ssh->test('perl sabkuch.pl');
  
  #check if test function returned or not
  if ($rc == 1){
  print "test was ok , server established \n";
  }
  else {
  print "return from test = $rc \n";
  }                                    
exit;

the file sabkuch.pl is as follows 

 #!/usr/bin/perl

 use strict;
use warnings;                                                         
+                           

 system('tar -xvf test.tar');
 exec('cd utpsm_run_automation && perl utpsm_lts_server.pl');


exit;
