Do you see any error messages? Note that you can enable debug output for Net::FTP by adding `Debug => 1` argument to `Net::FTP->new` method.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Do you have write permissions for current directory? Do you able to delete directory using regular ftp client and the same user account the perl script using? Can you provide us with full code snippet? Also `ls -l` output for every directory involved would be helpful.	[reply] [d/l]
