Chas, Thanks, I have info here on the shell script and the perl script that I call from my java class. I see the fail happening as we try to make a FTP connection. I have not specified any PERLLIB as I see in my script. Thanks again, Srini

Also, what are the values of the environment variables $PERL5LIB and $PERLLIB. We would also benefit from seeing the script itself (after you sanitize it, of course). Baring that, what modules and pragmas are being used by the script? -- Chas. Owens wonkden.net The most important skill a programmer can have is the ability to read.
