Hello all, I am writing a program that has a subroutine to do an FTP put to a server. My problem is I am looking for a way to determine if the FTP was sucessful or not, if not give as much info on the error as possible and pass that info back to my program regardless of success or failure. 
sub PutFTP
{
    ##################################################################
+########################
    #
    #  This subroutine performs an FTP Put using the Net::FTP module
    #
    ##################################################################
+########################
    my $ftp_server    = shift(@_);
    my $sub_pass    = shift(@_);
    my $sub_uid        = 'weblog';
    my $sub_path    = shift(@_);
    my $sub_log        = shift(@_);
    print "Beginning FTP Put to $ftp_server. Putting log $sub_log to p
+ath $sub_path\n\n";
    print "FTP Debug output:\n\n";
    my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("$ftp_server", Debug => 1, Timeout => 1300
+)
      or ErrorOut("Cannot connect to $ftp_server: $@");
    $ftp->login($sub_uid,$sub_pass)
      or ErrorOut("Cannot login ", $ftp->message);
    $ftp->cwd($sub_path)
      or ErrorOut("Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message);
    $ftp->put($sub_log)
        or ErrorOut("put failed ", $ftp->message);
    $ftp->quit;
    print "\nEnd FTP debug output\n\n";
    if ($ftp->put($sub_log)) {
        print "FTP Put successful from server $ftp_server\n";
    }else{
        print "FTP Put Failed\n";
    }
} # End sub NetFTP

Every time it runs it says the put failed. Thanks in advance, Nick
