Hello Everyone I would greatly appreciate insight on why I can't seem to get the following to work,

chdir($nas_location); #change the local directory
$ftp=Net::FTP::Recursive->new('172.20.1.36:9921',Timeout=>10,Debug=>1)
+ or die
getftploginpass();
my $LOGIN = $hashlogin{"LOGIN"};
my $PASSWORD = $hashlogin{"PASSWORD"};

$ftp->login($LOGIN,$PASSWORD) or $error=1;
$ftp->cwd("$remote_path") or $error=1;
$ftp->binary();
my @list = $ftp->ls();
my $output = $ftp->rget( map{($_, 1)} $extract);
$ftp->quit;
print "Got \$output of:\n$output\n";

With the debug on, the ftp client shows successful cd to the local directory.
$ftp->cwd is working as the client shows cwd successfull.
The $extract is a directory tree insight the remote path. Once the rget hits it is not creating the local directory structures. The ftp client comes back with a pwd command.
Where am I going wrong?
The Id I am running the script has full read / write access to the local directory. I can create the directory manually.
Am I missing the point?
