TCP socket to pipeopen (un)jar exits precipitously

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In Perl 5.8.4, trying to expand jar-packaged file received over IO::Socket::INET (v1.27) tcp socket using pipeopen and no intermediate file on server as follows: print JAR <$socket>; and jar seems to expand fine except client (sender) and server (receiver) both exit precipitously (oops!). After struggling unsuccessfully with this have resorted to intermediate file but it isn't my preference. Have searched perldocs, monastery here, google and printed matter to no avail. Any directly related tips/pointers/examples will be profusely welcomed and appreciated. Yours humbly, Paul.
