I have a script called bho.pl. I am doing this on a
Windows NT platform and I must get a file on a Unix
Platform.

The snippet is below. 


#!/perl/bin

require Exporter;

use lib ("/perl/lib/Net");
use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("droid.fit.qut.edu.au",
    Passive => True) or die "Can't open connect: $@\n";

$ftp->login("n2212811","asturias7")           or die "Can't login: $@\
+n";
$ftp->cwd();
$ftp->cwd("/n2212811/public_html/scripts")   or die "Can't open connec
+t: $@\n";
$ftp->get("exp.txt");
$ftp->quit;

The error messages are strange.
First I received this:

C:\webmaster\public_html\cgi-bin>perl bho.pl

Can't login:

Then I fixed this problem by fixinf up my login
Password and I re-ran the script.
Then I got this error
Message:

C:\webmaster\public_html\cgi-bin>perl bho.pl

Can't open connect:


Please tell me, does the problem lie
In the fact that it can't
Find the hostname?


This is the first time I am doing Net::FTP in perl...
If you have a portion of code that works, instead of me
Having to import the Net::FTP library,
It would be just as easily
Appreciated...

...just enough to get the job done
As simply as possible.
Thanks.

Warmest Regards,
