     syswrite(FILEHANDLE,SCALAR,LENGTH,OFFSET)

     syswrite(FILEHANDLE,SCALAR,LENGTH)

             Attempts to write LENGTH bytes of data from variable
             SCALAR to the specified FILEHANDLE, using the system
             call write(2).  It bypasses stdio,  so  mixing  this
             with prints may cause confusion.  Returns the number
             of bytes actually written, or undef if there was  an
             error.  An OFFSET may be specified to place the read
             data at some other place than the beginning  of  the
             string.
