One place you can have a problem with Net::FTP is if you somehow have an intermediate copy of the '$ftp' object returned by ``new Net::FTP''.

When Net::FTP times out or looses a connection, it undefs the object that the method which discovers the broken connection is called on -- that is, the object which is an object method's first arg.

Your ``$_[0]->get('connection')'' is the right idea; you don't ``my $ftp = shift;'' first, which would leave your caller's obj ($_[0]) still defined. But I can't see if you're doing that for the entire path.

(I'm sure this is clear as mud, but if you're in this package up to your elbows anyway, maybe you can follow what I'm talking about.)
