I'm trying to make simple ftp module using perl, here'smy code 
$ftpobj = Net::FTP -> new ($URL) or die "unable to connect\n";
print "Connection successful\n";
print "retrieving file from medix\n";

$ftpobj -> login($user, $pass);
$ftpobj -> cwd ($src_dir);

@files=$ftpobj->dir;
  
foreach(@files) {
  print "$_\n";
}

$ftpobj -> get ("INPUT", "$dest_dir/OUTPUT");  

$ftpobj -> quit;

print "file size ",-s "$dest_dir/OUTPUT"," bytes\n";

[download]
This code is able to transfer file but the problem is the fileszie of the file transaferred is alaways less than the source file. For instance, my soucrce file is supposed to be 11046 bytes but the transffered file is only 10257.
