I have been trying to get this program to work (code below). The idea of the code is to have a server program running on compA and a client program running on compB. CompB will ask compA for a txt file and compA will send it, simple enough. This process will be repeated over and over again until I manually close the client program on compB. The problems are 1)at line 7 on the server code I recieve an error stating; Error Sending Packet: Unknown Error. And 2) After 5 minutes or so the programs both close. This is not good and I'm not sure why they are doing so. 
--------------------------------------------
SERVER CODE
--------------------------------------------
use strict;
        use Net::FileShare;
        my ($fh) = Net::FileShare->new(
                        _send_only => 1,
                        _directory => 'C:\Documents and Settings\deadp
+ickle\Desktop\UAV',
                        _debug     => 1);
        $fh->server_connection;

---------------------------------------------
CLIENT CODE
---------------------------------------------
use strict;
        use Net::FileShare;
        my ($fh) = Net::FileShare->new(
                        _directory => 'C:\Documents and Settings\deadp
+ickle\Desktop');
while ( -e 'C:\Documents and Settings\deadpickle\Desktop\UAVuavpositio
+n.txt') {
      $fh->client_automated("localhost","3000","get","uavposition.txt"
+);
sleep 5;
};
