I'm trying to write an FTP script that will use a Mput to locate text files on a source machine and load onto a destination server. I would also need a log file wriiten in the script. Tried below but not working 


#!/usr/bin/perl
      use Net::FTP;
      use Archive::Extract;
      use File::Listing qw(parse_dir);

      $host = '';
      $path = '';
      $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Timeout => 1800) or die "Cannot cont
+act $host: $!";
      $ftp->login('username', 'password') or die "Cannot login ($host)
+:" . $ftp->message;
      $ftp->cwd($path) or die "Cannot change directory ($host):" . $ft
+p->message;
      @Files = $ftp->ls('-lR');
      #$ftp->binary();  
      $ftp->ascii();

foreach $file (parse_dir(\@Files))
      {
          my($name, $type, $size, $mtime, $mode) = @$file;            
            print "Retrieving $name \n";
            print "File type $type \n";
            
            if ($type != 'f')
            {
                  print "File name: $name";
                  print "File type: $type";
            }
            
            if ($type eq 'f')
            {
                  $ftp->hash($name,102400);
            
                  $ftp->mput($name, '/data/UC4/outbound/CustomerStatem
+ent/*.txt') or warn "Could not get $name, skipped: $!";
                  EXTRACT("$name '/data/UC4/outbound/CustomerStatement
+/*.txt');
            }
      }

$ftp->quit or die "Could not close the connection cleanly: $!";
      
sub EXTRACT
      {
            my $ae = Archive::Extract->new( archive => @_ );
            my $ok = $ae->extract( to => 'LOCATION' );

      }
exit;
