Client side contains Array of Hash how can it be sent to server side for data retrieval. Below code gives stub and it is not correct but provide network connection.

SERVER

use strict;
use IO::Socket;
use Sys::Hostname;
use constant BUFSIZE => 1024;

my $host = hostname;
my $port = shift || '10280';
my $socket = new IO::Socket(
            Domain => PF_INET,
            Proto => getprotobyname('tcp'),
            LocalAddr => $host,
            LocalPort => $port,
            Listen => 1,#SOMAXCONN,
            #ReuseAddr => SO_REUSEADDR,
            ) or die $@;
my $buffer;

print "Waiting to do service...\n";
while (my $client =$socket->accept)
{
    print "Client: ",$client->peerhost," Connected..\n";
    syswrite($client,"Reached Server\n",BUFSIZE);
    my @AoH = ();
    if(sysread($client,$buffer,BUFSIZE)>0)
    {
    
        @AoH = unpack("a*",$buffer);
        print "AoH:",@AoH,"\n";        
        print $#AoH,"<= Length\n";
        for my $i ( 0 .. $#AoH ) 
        {
            print "Id = $i => {\n";
            for my $param ( keys %{ $AoH[$i] } ) 
            {
                print "\t$param=$AoH[$i]{$param}\n";
            }
            print "}\n";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        print "Client Disconnected..\n";
        print "Waiting to do service...\n";
    }
    print "Again to accept connection\n";
}
CLIENT

use strict;

            {

         );

my $host = shift or die "Usage: client.pl host [port]\n";

                             Proto => getprotobyname('tcp'),
                             Timeout => 60,) or die $@;

my $buffer;
if (sysread($socket,$buffer,BUFSIZE) > 0) 
{    
    syswrite(STDOUT,$buffer);
}
print "AoH=",@AoH,"\n";

print "\t$param=$AoH[$i]{$param}\n";
# How to send the Array of Hash in one shot=> modification required in
+ below line
#******** Monks can you pls suggest good idea???
syswrite($socket,pack("a*",@AoH),BUFSIZE);# only address is sent..
close($socket);
