yes - I think the question is how to have the reader on the
socket understand that the byte stream is an excell spreadsheet
to unpack it correctly....
remember that you will need to read this with sysread() and
write with syswrite() - in '$bug_len' sized chunks - rather than
trying to use the usual

chomp;
}
approach to reading from a handle.
