There is a known bug with recent Net::FTP - for which a patch exists. I'd patched my old office machine about 24 months back. But now I've got a new machine with the same problem (on ActiveState) and I can't find the bl**dy webpage that described the problems and fix (it's about a two line patch)
Sorry I can't be more useful at this point but if I find it I'll post here.
Update
The Answer
Given the pain required to recover this information, the synopsis is
- CPAN Bug rt://25019
- Moving from Net::FTP to 2.75 to 2.77 (in 5.8.6) sees problem
- Around line 75 in Net/FTP/A.pm
$tmp =~ s/[^\015]\012/\015\012/sg if $nr;
The regexp says "Search for any character followed by a \012, and
replace it with \015\012". Since the character is not in the
replacement string, it is deleted. This is one fix:
$tmp =~ s/([^\015];)\012/$1\015\012/sg if $nr;

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).
