I'm trying to create a simple perl script to FTP a file through a gateway using Net::FTP.

I can do this from the UNIX command line by:
- ftping the gateway "ftp ftpgateway.mycompany.com"
- logging in to the gateway "ftpgateway_username ftpgateway_password"
- then entering the command "quote site www.destination.com"
- then logging into the destination machine "user destination_username destination_password"
- turning off passive mode "passive"
- then transferring the file "put file"

How can I do this in Perl? I've got the following:
my $ftp;
if ($ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftpgateway.mycompany.com",
           Debug => '1',
           Passive => '0')) {
   print "Connected.\n";
} else {
   print "Couldn't connect.\n";
   exit;
}
if ($ftp->login("ftpgateway_username", "ftpgateway_password")) {
   print "Login sucessful\n";
} else {
   print "Login failed.\n";
   exit;
}
if ($ftp->site("www.destination.com")) {
   print "opened www.destination.com.\n";
} else {
   print "Couldn't open destination.com.\n";
   exit;
}
if ($ftp->quot("user destination_username destination_password")) {
   print "Logged into desination.com.\n";
} else {
   print "Couldn't log into destination.com.\n";
   exit;
}
if ($ftp->put("file1.txt")) {
   print "Put file1.txt\n";
} else {
   print "Couldn't put file1.txt.\n";
   exit;
}

I get logged in ok, but when I try to the put command I get the error : 
Net:FTP=GLOB(0x819dd68)<<< ftp: setsockopt (reuse addresss) Invalid ar

What's going wrong?
