I am using the Net::FTP module in Perl to automate transferring datafiles
between one of my Unix servers and a mainframe.  I have the connection going
and in general, can transfer files without problems.  

However, I've been told that as part of the file transfer, I have to issue a
mainframe specific command (there is no method in Net::FTP that corresponds
with this command).  The command I need to issue is "quote site lrecl=827
recfm=fb blksize=27291 cylinder primary=1 secondary=1".  

I have tried to use the "quot" method.  It goes something like this
$ftp->quot("quote site lrecl=827 recfm=fb blksize=27291 cylinder primary=1
secondary=1");

The script runs the whole way through but apparently does not evaluate this
line.  I don't get any kind of error but when our mainframe programmer looks
at the mainframe, she says that that command did not work.  If I step
through the ftp process on that command line, that command works like it is
supposed to.

Any ideas?
