Guys,
I've got a program that extracts attachments from emails that I then need to send/save to another box.
Using the Mail::Message routines, I end up with the file name and payload ie contents separately.
I'd like to write the payload to the remote box without creating a local file first, ie using sftp->do_open, do_write, do_close ...
My problem atm is that do_open() requires "$flags" ie

"$flags should be a bitmask of open flags, whose values can be obtained from Net::SFTP::Constants
use Net::SFTP::Constants qw( :flags );

However, the CPAN page for this does not specify what flag values are avail/should be used for do_write(), only saying it can be blank for do_read().
I've googled all over, but cannot find a single example of how to do this.
I'd like to do a simple

$sftp->do_open(...);
$sftp->do_write(...);
$sftp->do_close(...);

for each file.
Has any body got a working example, please, with $flags and $attributes values?
Cheers
Chris
