Right, but looking at the Perldoc info:

get ( REMOTE_FILE [, LOCAL_FILE , WHERE] )

Get REMOTE_FILE from the server and store locally. LOCAL_FILE may be a filename or a filehandle. If not specified, the file will be stored in the current directory with the same leafname as the remote file.

If WHERE is given then the first WHERE bytes of the file will not be transferred, and the remaining bytes will be appended to the local file if it already exists.

Returns LOCAL_FILE , or the generated local file name if LOCAL_FILE is not given. If an error was encountered undef is returned.

Shouldn't it get the file from $directory and put it in c:\temp\ftp?
