in thread Net::FTP ascii translation

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!
