Hi monks...

Update: I fixed it by putting the full path to $directory. Apparently relative paths don't work in this situation. So: nothing to see here, feel free to go on about your business...

I'm going through a directory with File::Find, and attempting to FTP the files I find to a server. 
use warnings;       
use strict;   
use File::Find;     
use Net::FTP;

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("172.26.100.100", Debug => 0) 
    or die "can't connect: $@"; 
$ftp->login("user","passwd")
    or die "cant' login"; 
$ftp->binary;

my $directory = 'DIR00000';   

find (\&wanted, $directory);        
sub wanted {
    $ftp->put ($File::Find::name);
    }
$ftp->quit;

but Net::FTP can't seem to open the file that File::Find identified. I get an error msg. "Cannot open Local file DIR00000/file1: No such file or directory..."

So File::Find gets the files just fine; but Net::FTP doesn't seem to be able to open the file that File::Find identified. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

This is Windows system, ActiveState Perl 5.8.3
