Hi Rhose,
I ran your script and got the following output:
$VAR1 = undef;
I am starting to think it is a problem with either the Perl or FTP.pm installation. I am going to have the Unix Admin reinstall the software again. Thanks for your input.
Ken Hi Everyone, I just wanted to tell you that my problem was finally resolved. Here is the reply from my Sys Admin "We found the issue, with the ftp perl protocal issue, there was an entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf in that we change the nsswitch.conf to use file entry first." Hope that makes sense. I wanted to provide closure to this just incase someone else ran into the same problem. Once again, thanks for all of your help. Ken

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
