Not 'recreated', but what _can_ happen is that you call an ftp command: ``$ftp->cmd(@args);''   which, as you know, is translated by perl as: Package::cmd($ftp, cmd, @args) ((here package is Net::FTP::...)).

Inside cmd($ftp, ...), it does an ``undef $_[0];'' if, and only if, it discovers a broken connection.

Next time you want to do an ftp cmd, you retrieve your _stored_ $ftp, (which is still defined and therefore still pointing to the right package::funcs) and send off another command.   ...Result, it hangs...

For instance, here's the ``put()'', I've used for a couple of years in my wrapper code:
# put: return ok = '' if 'no permission' error (ie, don't retry)

sub put {
  $_[0]->SUPER::put(@_[1..$#_]) # rtns ok/!ok;$_[0] undef'd if abort
    or check($_[0])            # $_[0] can be undef'd here to hangup
}

(and in ``check()'':)

      $code == '021' || $code == 421 || # server timeout || abort
      $code == 425 ||      # connection not opened ('out of ports'?)
