I am attempting to add code to my current script that will allow for image uploads to the remote server. I have the Perl Cookbook and there is an example for an FTP Client. I modeled that code in a previous script and it worked fine. This time, however, one of the methods I use returns an error. Here's the code:

sub upload_image() {

use Net::FTP;

my $path = $_[0];    # path received from HTML form input - location o
+f image on local machine
my ($username, $password, $directory) = ("xxxx", "xxxx", "/www/path/to
+/store/files");

    my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("www.xxxxxxxx.net",
                            Timeout => 30,
                            Debug    => 1) || die &show_error("Unable 
+to connect to ftp: $!");

    $ftp->login($username, $password) || die &show_error("Unable to lo
+gin to ftp: $!");
    $ftp->cwd($directory) || die &show_error("Unable to change directo
+ry: $!");
    $ftp->put($path) || die &show_error("Unable to upload $path: $!");
    $ftp->quit();

}

When I run this and make a call to this sub routine the show_error function prints the error "No such directory". Is this referring to the local or remote server? Everything else prior to file upload works. What am I doing wrong?

I know that there are other methods (ie - cgi-lib, Cgi::Upload), but I haven't had much success with getting those to work how I'd like.

Any suggestions or code would be cool.
