Good morning Monks. I am having a rather strange problem. I generate a php file (a web page with an embedded logon script) then use Net-FTP to upload it like so: 
unless ($suppressftp) {
    print "FTP starting...\n";
    my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.mysite.com", Debug => 0) or die "Cann
+ot connect to ftp.mysite.com: $!";
    $ftp->login("uid",'password') or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->messag
+e;
    $ftp->binary;   
    $ftp->cwd("mydir") or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp
+->message;
    $ftp->put("$filename\.php") or die "Can't put $filename\.php ", $f
+tp->message;
    $ftp->cwd("gfx") or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->
+message;
    for my $file ('g_f.png','g_m.png','g_p.png','g_r.png','g_t.png','s
+eries_1.png','series_2.png') {
    print "...writing $file\n";
    $ftp->put("gfx/$file") or die "Can't put gfx/$date$file ", $ftp->m
+essage;
    }
    $ftp->quit;
}

Everything uploads fine, but when I try to open the php file with my browser I get a php parse error ("extra $"). If I re-upload the same php file using an FTP client I have (WS-FTP) then the file opens fine.

I've tried uploading the php file in both text and binary mode, same result. Obviously Net-FTP is doing something bad to the php file when it uploads it. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix?

thanks.....Steve
