solved see my reply to original post

Greetings monks,

I have a problem with Net::FTP and I'm not sure if it's a bug/feature of the module or just my incompetence in Perl :)

Below is a code snippet. What I'm trying to accomplish is to catch *any* failure during the FTP transaction. I thought what I coded up would work, but on two occasions now, this section of code has failed to catch the error(s). 
    if (($ftp->login($data->{'login'}, $data->{'pw'}) or
             $log->logwarn("upload_file: xqe $data->{'id'}, ",
             $ftp->message)) &&
        ($ftp->binary or
             $log->logwarn("upload_file: xqe $data->{'id'}, ",
             $ftp->message)) &&
        ($ftp->cwd($data->{'remote_dir'}) or
             $log->logwarn("upload_file: xqe $data->{'id'}, ",
             $ftp->message)) &&
        ($ftp->put($to_upload) or
             $log->logwarn("upload_file: xqe $data->{'id'}, ",
             $ftp->message)) &&
        ($ftp->quit)) {
        return 1;
    }
    else {
        $log->error("upload_file: xqe $data->{'id'}, " .
                    "upload failed for $to_upload");
        return undef;
    }

The two errors that this has failed to catch are 1) a 552 where my disk quota was exceeded which cause an abort and 2) a 550 where i tried to CWD to a directory that didn't exist.

I though surely that the ABORT caused by the 552 would have caused an error, but I was mistaken.

so, what am I doing wrong?

forever in everyone's debt,
