I am using net::ftp in a perl script running on Windows 2000 copying files from the Windows 2000 machine to a variety of non-Windows target machines. When I put a file to these machines, the files do not get converted from the Windows end-of-line convention (cr-lf) to the target convention, thus rendering the files useless. The target systems are OpenVMS, Unix and Linux. I am setting ascii with no affect. Tracing with debug gives me: 
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 220 FTP Service Ready
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> user foo
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 331 User name foo received, please send pa
+ssword
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> PASS ....
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 230 foo logged in, directory DKA300:[foo]
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> TYPE A
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 200 Command OK
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> CWD [foo.install]
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 250 Working directory changed to "DKA300:[
+foo.INSTALL]"
---   starting ftp of 402 files
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> PORT x,x,x,x,x,x
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 200 PORT Command OK.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)>>> STOR cnxsockh.h
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 150 ASCII transfer started for DKA300:[foo
+.INSTALL]CNXSOCKH.H;
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1d3ccb4)<<< 226 File transfer completed ok

Extensive searching of the Internet does not show anyone with a similar problem, but I can't believe I am unique. This problem does not occur if I use the native Windows 2000 ftp client. I really don't want to do that, though, as net::ftp gives me a far more consistent connection in every respect other than this end-of-line conversion problem. Thank you very much for your prompt assistance. Marc
