The contents of %{...} are expected to be a reference and instead you have a glob.
Two changes I would make to the above code
- Presumably FTP->new is returning an object reference, not a list, so my($this) should probably be simply my $this.
- Assuming $this is an object reference and the object is implemented as a hash, %{*$this} should be simply %{$this} or even just %$this. See perlreftut for further information.
However, it is generally not good programming practice to break the opacity of an object reference. I would look more carefully at the docs for the FTP module and rewrite the code so that the hash assignment is unnecessary.
Best, beth

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).
