## Can someone help me convert this to a Net::FTP module. I am good and my modules will work, except for passing the DOMAIN/user1 parameter. I connected to the CLI and did an FTP > OPEN and typed in username DOMAIN\user1 as well as DOMAIN/user1 and user@domain.com they all worked and connected through FTP from the prompt. But in my Perl Module if I declare and initialize my variables with $ftp_user = "DOMAIN\/user" it will not work (tried all kinds of ways, seems as though it only likes to take in single string characters) and always gives me a bad login message. error 530

if I run my perl module with just a regular username and or connect to say ftp.oreilly.com no issues, its when I try to prefix the username with an internal domain name, the FTP server is in house so the domain name must prefix the username.
