in reply to Problems with Net::FTP

If you are missing a few bytes, you might try binary mode 
  if( $test eq "y" ) {
     
      # search for binary in perldoc Net::FTP           
      $ftp->binary();

       $ftp->get( $pkg ) or die "Cannot retrieve matching package: ",

    I was turning on binary mode straight after the call to Net::FTP->new(), but moving it inside the test, as in your reply, has indeed solved the issue. Thankyou very much for your help. :D
