Server Side

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use IO::Socket;
my $file1;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
    LocalAddr  => '192.168.100.30',
    LocalPort    => 6224,
    Listen    => 10,
    Proto    => 'tcp',
    Reuse    => 1,
);
while(my $conn = $sock->accept()) {
$file1=$_;#This should collect  the filename send by client right?
open(FILE,"$file1");
binmode(FILE);
my @file = <FILE>;
close(FILE);
foreach my $x (@file) {
print $conn $x;
}

My intention is to send a file name to a remote server from client and the server should open the file and send the contents to client.The client should write it tio a local file My problem is that the server is not receiving the filename send by client.How can i receive the file name and send the contents???
