A bit more background...this code was originally written to utilise Net::FTP. However, I've needed to modify it as I need to run the code without actually FTPing anything outside the server, so I've created my own dummy FTP package. FTP->new (mine) is returning a HASH reference, but it looks like Net::FTP->new returns a GLOB reference.

What construction's needed in my 'new' subroutine to return a GLOB reference. I have:- 

sub new {

    my ($pkg, $server, $user, $timeout, @args) = @_;

    my $self = {
        %fields
    };

    my $ftp = bless $self, $pkg;

    $ftp->server($server);
    $ftp->user($user);
    $ftp->timeout($timeout);

    $ftp->initialize();

    return $ftp;
}
