Hello wise ones. I have a script that gets a file off of a mainframe. I then import the file into MSSQL using a dts package. If I run the ftp manually using dos the file imports fine. If I use the perl code I error out when I try to do the import. When I run the FTP in dos I run through all the same commands and if I open the csv in excel it looks fine. The MSSQL error sais it can't find a CR/LF in the first 8k. Any help is appreciated. 
my $host1='myhost';
my $user1="user";
my $pw1="pwd";
my $path = 'MY.FILE.NAME';
my $dataFile="MY.FILE.NAME\.csv";
my $mffile = '\'MY.FILE.NAME\'';
#### Pull file off mainframe ####
$ftp=Net::FTP->new($host1, Debug => 1);
$ftp->login($user1,$pw1) or die "could not login to $host1";
$ftp->cwd($path) or die "could not cwd $path";    # change to incoming
+ directory
$ftp->get($mffile) or die "could not get $file";
