I asked this same question about 9 months ago with no luck, so I thought I'd try again.

I'm communicating with another system through its serial port. It's connected to a terminal server, so to me it's a socket connection via Net::Telnet. I opened the socket manually and used Net::Telnet's fhopen, so I have the socket available to me in the main program. My program is running on a Linux box.

What I want to do is send a file via zmodem to the other system. I haven't been able to find any Perl zmodem libraries, so I tried

open2($socket, $socket, ['sz', 'myfile']);

The error I got was: 

open2: close(IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0x940d78c)) failed: Bad file descri
+ptor at ./tryit line 21

Line 21 is the "open2" line.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really rather not re-implement zmodem in Perl if I don't have to.

Thanks.
