So, if I understand you correctly, the file incomplete when it arrives and gets processed on the mainframe.
You could try one or more of the following:-
- Checksum before and on receipt to unix server.
- Sending a flag to say "I've sent the whole file now" in case you are sending on the file before it has fully arrived and check for that before sending it on
- Rename the file on completion from a temporary name
- Put a marker in the file to indicate a complete send and check for it
- Check for file-in-use with fuser or similar
There are probably other ways to do this too, but could you confirm the issue you are having. if, when you look a little later, the file is complete on unix then you are probable firing prematurely (not a euphemism) on the process to send the file on to the mainframe. It's all about getting dependencies into a disconnected process.
I hope that this gives you some options to work with.

net::sftp::foreign::constants
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants(3pm)
NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants - Constant definitions for Net::SFTP::Foreign
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw(:tag SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION);
print "Protocol version is ", SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION;
DESCRIPTION
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides a list of exportable SFTP constants: for SFTP messages and commands, for file-open flags, for status
messages, etc. Constants can be exported individually, or in sets identified by tag names.
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides values for all of the constants listed in the SFTP protocol version 3 draft; the only thing to note
is that the constants are listed with the prefix "SSH2_" instead of "SSH_". So, for example, to import the constant for the file-open
command, you would write:
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw( SSH2_FXP_OPEN );
TAGS
As mentioned above, constants can either be imported individually or in sets grouped by tag names. The tag names are:
:fxp
Imports all of the "SSH2_FXP_*" constants: these are the constants used in the messaging protocol.
:flags
Imports all of the "SSH2_FXF_*" constants: these are constants used as flags sent to the server when opening files.
:att
Imports all of the "SSH2_FILEXFER_ATTR_*" constants: these are the constants used to construct the flag in the serialized attributes.
The flag describes what types of file attributes are listed in the buffer.
:status
Imports all of the "SSH2_FX_*" constants: these are constants returned from a server "SSH2_FXP_STATUS" message and indicate the status
of a particular operation.
:error
Imports all the "SFTP_ERR_*" constants used to represent high level errors: "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_ALREADY_EXISTS",
"SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_CHMOD_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_OPEN_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_READ_ERROR", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_STAT_FAILED",
"SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_UTIME_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_WRITE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PACKET_SEQUENCE", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PERMISSIONS",
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_TIME", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BLOCK_TOO_SMALL", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_CLOSE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSETSTAT_FAILED",
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_LSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_MKDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPENDIR_FAILED",
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPEN_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READ_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REALPATH_FAILED",
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REMOVE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RENAME_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RMDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READLINK_FAILED",
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_SYMLINK_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_SETSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_STAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_WRITE_FAILED" and
"SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_HARDLINK_FAILED".
Note: these constants are not defined on the SFTP draft.
:ext
Import all the "SSH2_FXE_*" constants: there are the constants defined for usage with SFTP extensions.
Currently, these are supported: "SSH2_FXE_STATVFS_ST_RDONLY", "SSH_FXE_STATVFS_ST_NOSUID".
There is one constant that does not fit into any of the tag sets: "SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION", which holds the value of the SFTP protocol
implemented by Net::SFTP::Foreign.
