How to use "sysread" to make it a file

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

Hi fellow Monks, quick question: I used "sysread FILEHANDLE,SCALAR,LENGTH" to get the info that is coming back from the server. Now all the information is stored in SCALAR, but how can I make a file with all the information that SCALAR is holding?

`open ( OH, "> output_file") or die "$!\n"; while (sysread FILEHANDLE, my $data, $len){ syswrite OH, $data }` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply] [d/l]
