FTPing a script.
From the doc:
The protocol also defines several standard translations which the file can undergo during transfer. These are ASCII, EBCDIC, binary, and byte. ASCII is the default type, and indicates that the sender of files will translate the ends of lines to a standard representation which the receiver will then translate back into their local representation.

When I ftp a script and run it I get 'page cannot be displayed'.
If I use my ftp prog it is ok. Is this a translation problem? I expected the 'ASCII is the default' to look after that.
If I need to set '$ftp->ascii' what 'ARGS' are needed.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::FTP;

my $host        = 'xxxxx';
my $uid         = 'xxxxx';
my $pwd        = 'xxxxx';
my $local_file  = 'c:/perl/myperl/dev/test_mod.cgi';
my $remote_path = 'docroot/z_cwi_cgi/z_test';
my $remote_file = 'test_mod.cgi';

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( $host )       or die "can't connect";
$ftp->login( $uid, $pwd )              or die "can't login";
$ftp->cwd( $remote_path )              or die "can't cwd";
$ftp->ascii()                          or die "can't ascii";
$ftp->put( $local_file, $remote_file ) or die "can't put";
$ftp->quit                             or die "can't quit";

I use Net::FTP for posting html files and have found it excellent.
winXP and activestate 5.8
Updated: Added $ftp->ascii() after $ftp->cwd()
Update 2: This node has the answer 240895. Apologies for not looking harder.
Update 3: The workround in 240895 works! All praise to Thelonius!
