Oh wise and powerful Monks - I am new to this site and hoping very much you can help me. We have Perl installed on AIX 5.1 and we have a perl script that ftp's. Things have been happy happy for years (5 years to be exact). The server admin recently upgraded the server to AIX 5.1 maintenance level 8 and ftp broke. Things were fine at maintenance level 7. The server admin installed the latest LIBNET module obtained from cpan hoping that would resolve the issue but to no avail, FTP still just hangs. Althought backing off the maintenance level would solve the problem, this is not a long term solution. Any suggestions for what/where the problem might be? Much appreciation!! Lori
