felipon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
I downloaded the last revision for ftplib.pl, but gets several syntax errors, and have'nt found a repository with LISTing the files to select the ones to FTPing, willing to stick .

The errors, I am getting on, are at lines 696, 703 , 767,
Use of uninitialized value at ftplib.pl

123,124,125,129,
Useless use of a variable in void context ...

592
Value of <HANDLE> construct can't be 0 test with defined()

Just runing the 18LST05.pl from the "Perl 5 By example" book for testing purposes of using this lib.

Anyone willing to give me a hand with this?

    Where'd you download ftplib.pl from? I'd use Net::FTP if I were you.

    Those are called "warnings" (perldoc perldiag, perldoc warnings), and they won't stop your program from running.

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
