Re^2: email address as username

in reply to Re: email address as username
in thread email address as username

If I use single quotes, I get the error "Can't call method "login" on an undefined value at line x." Here's the relevant portion of the code:

use Net::FTP;

my ($ftp, $host, $user, $pass, $dir, $fpath);

$host = 'ftp.my.com';
$user = 'last.first@somewhere.com';
$pass = 'mypass';
$dir = '/my/file_path/onftp';

$fpath = 'myfileonserver_xml.zip';

$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 0);
$ftp->login($user, $pass) || die $ftp->message;  ##this is line x##
$ftp->cwd($dir);
$ftp->put($fpath) || die $ftp->message;
$ftp->quit;

From the Net::FTP docs: `$ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name", Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $@";` [download] Check for errors as shown in the docs. What does that say?	[reply] [d/l]

You are missing a semi-colon from the end of this line. `use Net::FTP` poj	[reply] [d/l]

Yes it was in my code correct with the ";". It was just a typo on my post.	[reply]

You are getting the error on your first use of the `$ftp` object. That means the construction of it in the line above failed, where you specified `$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 0);` I can't see from here why it failed, you will have to debug if you can reach `$host` using some other method to ftp for instance.
