You mean compare the two files? Why didn't I think of that? When I did, I found the clue that let me discover the real prolem.

Perhaps you will get a kick out of this: I had put the wrong file handle on a close command so the PHP file wasn't closed when Net::FTP uploaded it, and there was still a little text left in the buffer resulting in a truncated file. After the upload, PERL flushed the buffer and closed the file before shut down, so when I then uploaded the file with my FTP client it was the complete file and of course it worked.

I hate it when that happens :-)
