How to use "sysread" to make it a file

[dudydude]

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?

[zentara]

open ( OH, "> output_file") or die "$!\n";

while (sysread FILEHANDLE, my $data, $len){ syswrite OH, $data }

Uhm... Open another file for writing and print it all out?

Well I want to create a file with all the contents inside SCALAR itself...
