I've been searching reciently for a tutorial on transferring a file over IO::Socket. I have attempted many random things, at this point the closest thing I have to working is Client:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use IO::Socket;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
    PeerAddr    => 'localhost',
    PeerPort    => 6224,
    Proto    => 'tcp',
);
open(FILE,">file.exe");
binmode(FILE);
while(<$sock>) {
print FILE <$sock>;
}
close(FILE);
close($sock);
[download]

Server:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use IO::Socket;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
    LocalPort    => 6224,
    Listen    => 10,
    Proto    => 'tcp',
    Reuse    => 1,
);
while(my $conn = $sock->accept()) {
open(FILE,"macshift.exe");
binmode(FILE);
print $conn <FILE>;
close(FILE);
}
[download]

At this point, both connect and seem to transfer the file, the file is the same size and everything. If you try to run the program you get an error saying couldn't load the program into memory so I assume something is going wrong with my use of binmode. Please enlighten me Perl monks ;-)
