Hi Friends, Happy New Year... In my work i need to download files from PDB database, i am able to download files from http by using WWW::Mechanize, but this is an ftp site, so i tried the Net::FTP module but not able to do properly.here my institute is having proxy, so i need to cross the proxy authentication also.below is the code that iam using. can you people give some suggestions or correct the code. 

 $host = "ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb/";
$f = Net::FTP->new("$host", Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect $@";
$f->get($host/$pdb_download);
open ($pdb, ">$pdb.pdb");
print $pdb $f->content();

[download]
