I had already ftped it with an ftp program and CHOMDed it. It ran as expected. After using the above script I got 'page cannot be displayed' ie it is not executed. I beleive the error is what you would expect if the 'ascii translation' has not been carried out properly.	[reply]

That error can mean just about anything. 3 questions: 1: What's in the logs. 2: Have you checked if the file thats uploaded via Net::FTP actually is executable on the server? 3: Have you checked the file on the server to see if the line-endings are as they should be?

Thanks for your reply I think this 240895 may have something to do with it. I'm going to try the workaround suggested. To try and answer your questions: 1. The script is run on a local winXP box and doesn't generate any errors. 2. It has been CHMODed to 755 (is that what you mean by executable?). 3. I don't know how to check the line endings on the server. I am going to try downloading it as a binary and taking a closer look (I'm at work at the moment). As I say, when I use an ftp program, the script runs as expected. Update: The script on the server has dos line endings. Update 2: The workround in 240895 works! Wheeeeee!	[reply]
