Dear monks, I have a two part program, which utilises LWP::UserAgent / HTTP::Request to download files from the 'net, and Net::FTP to upload those files. The source machine is my MacBook Pro (Leopard) and the destination machine is a Windows 2003 FTP server. The following is a looksee at the code I am attempting to use for my file transfer: 
# Pattern match all .ipup files in local directory
my @files = glob("*.ipup");
    
# Declare $ftp
my $ftp;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($ulservername, Debug => 1, Timeout => 120, Hash =
+> \*STDERR) or die "Cannot connect the FTP server called $ulservernam
+e.\n";
$ftp->login($username,$password) or die "Authentication on $ulserverna
+me failed\n";
$ftp->binary() or die "Could not set BINARY command on $ulservername\n
+";
$ftp->cwd($rdirectory) or die "Could change working directory on $ulse
+rvername\n";
    
# Execute the FTP transfer
foreach my $file (@files) {
   print "Copying $file to FTP server...\n";
   $ftp->pasv() or die "Could not set PASV command on $ulservername\n"
+;
   $ftp->put($file, $file) or die "Could not transfer $file to FTP ser
+ver: $!\n";
}

# Send quit to FTP server
$ftp->quit() or die "Could not quit the FTP session. Que sera sera\n";

The thing that kills me is that time after time, the $ftp->put() operation times out. I can use FTP from the shell and mput my data to the FTP server without any problems. What have I done wrong? Why does this simple code torment me so? I also checked out my glob() by printing the output to screen, and that looks okay. The foreach() also shows that its uploading one file at a time. As an aside, file size ranges between 170Mb and 180Mb per file. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Update: Resolved. If eedjit over here had removed the second $file from the $ftp->put() call, the script would have worked ages ago.
