Hi, I'm enjoying creating my own XHTML FTP app using NET::ftp on the server..

So far I can rename, delete and upload fine, but the trivial task of creating a new directory isn't behaving as I'd expect.

my $i2 = "/httpdocs/this_folder";
my $i3 = "new_folder";

$ftp->cwd($i2) or die "change to directory $i2: ".$ftp->message." - ".
+$ftp->code;
$ftp->mkdir($i3) or die "make new directory $i3: $ftp->message." - ".$
+ftp->code;

[download]
This does create the directory /httpdocs/this_folder/new_folder, as it should, but then dies returning

"make new directory : Invalid number of arguments. - 501 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI/Carp.pm line 314"
instead of the new directory name..

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
rjc
