Hi monks, i am trying to perform the following task.
I have a server, a module and a client. the client and server communicate through the module.
the server transfers a file to the module through a binary stream. the module temporarily saves the binary stream in a tempfile using the File::Temp module. before transmitting the file from the server the filehandles and the sockets are changed to binmode at both the server and module side.
now the problem comes when i try to return the file handle of this temporary file to the client. how do i save it over there? here is my code in the module. 
$handle = tempfile();
    binmode $handle;
    binmode $conn1;
    my $buffer=0;
    while(my $read = sysread($conn1,$buffer,100))
    {
        print "Writing the file\n";
        my $n= syswrite($handle,$buffer,100);
    }
    while(<$handle>)
        {
        print "$_\n";
        }
    return *handle;

also when i try to print the temporary file using the while loop nothing is printed which means there is nothing in the file. so whats is the problem?
plus what do i do on the client side to save the file?
