Fellow monks.. I'm using a script to look for a file and then send it to a vendor FTP site. The script "appears" to work. However, when I check the ftp directory, the file isn't there. If I perform the FTP manually, the file is present. I've turned debug on within Net::FTP and it looks like it is transferring but as I said, it never does. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. 
use Net::FTP;

my $local_dir = "/home/best1";
my $remote_dir = "/incoming";
my $ftp_site = "ftp.bmc.com";
my $mail_text = "nonew_mail.file";
my $caseid = "";
my $tarbundle = "";


# Find all the caseid tar bundles
opendir(HOMEDIR, "$local_dir");
foreach my $file (readdir HOMEDIR) {
    next if($file eq ".") or ($file eq "..");
    if($file =~ /case\d+\.tar\.gz/) {
        $tarbundle = $file;
        if($tarbundle =~ /(\d+)/) {
            $caseid = $1;
            &ftp;
            unlink("$local_dir/$tarbundle");
        }
    }
}

# subroutine for FTP processing
sub ftp {
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("$ftp_site", Debug => 1) or die "Cannot connect t
+o $ftp_site: $@";
$ftp->login("anonymous",'-anonymous@') or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->m
+essage;
$ftp->cwd("$remote_dir") or die "Cannot change working directory ", $f
+tp->message;
$ftp->mkdir("$caseid") or die "Cannot create directory ", $ftp->messag
+e;
$ftp->binary;
$ftp->put("$local_dir/$tarbundle") or die "get failed ", $ftp->message
+;
$ftp->quit;
}
