My name is Chris, Hi! I'm creating a backup program for my company and i'm interested in the Net::FTP module from CPAN by Graham Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
My problem is that when i try to connect to an ftp server, it fails with this error message in $@ [ Net::FTP: Bad protocol 'tcp' ] Now... That error only occurs when i run it in the same (monolithic) backup perl script. I created a new script that ONLY makes a connection, calls the dir() method, and does nothing else and it worked just fine. The two connect calls between the test script and the backupscript are equivalent. They are both: my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($ftpHost, Debug => 1) || die "Unable to connect to $ftpHost [REASON: $@] {$!}\n"; And $! contains [ No such file or directory ]... Now that doesn't make any sense at all to me... My other question is, what does Debug => 1 do more than if it were at 0? I don't see any difference... If i can get this to work, things will be great! Thanks for any help possible! -Chris P.S. I have already email Graham Barr himself, but i've recieved no reply. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
