When a Net::FTP operation fails, you really want to get
the error details so you know what failed. It always takes
me a while to find the details in the Net::FTP docs so I
thought I'd post here:
Initial Connection: the connection is established
when you create the object. If the connect fails, new()
will return undef and the error message will be in
$@:
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($destserv) ||
die "Connect to $destserv failed: $@";
Commands: if a command fails, the method return
value will be undef. The error message can be accessed
using the 'message()' method. If you're checking for a
particular message, you might be better off using the
'code()' method to get the three digit FTP protocol status
code which preceded the message:
$ftp->get($file) ||
die "get($file) failed: " . $ftp->code() . ": " . $ftp->message();

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).
