ok i know what the problem is. let me explain it to u. according to the definition of the module File::Temp the moment the program exits the file handle is closed. so even though i am returning the file handle the client cannot save it cause the handle is already closed by the module. i figured this out cause instead of closing the handle to the temporary file in the module i closed it in the client. so it gave me an error saying
<code>Close on unopened file <handle> at ./fsclient1.pl line 247.</code
how can the handle be not open. the routine from the module just returned it a few lines above. so the reason is that by the time the client tries to save the file the module has exited hence the handle to the temporary file is closed.
so how do i solve this problem?
