Ahh, merlyn is being a little coy. You want: use lib <path to library>; Don't specify the particular module. You import that with: use <module name>; In the case of Net::FTP, you can translate the double colons into a directory separator. And your 'use lib' statement ought to point to the directory in which Perl should start looking for Net::FTP (on Unix systems, Perl looks in each of the library locations for Net/FTP.pm).

Get the picture? You're giving it too much information, and it's looking for script/libnet/Net/FTP.pm/Net/FTP.pm.

You could use require, but try trimming your path and you'll have better luck. (Oh, and you also might want to use Net::FTP somewhere before you call Net::FTP::new(), too.)
