in reply to 5.8.2 vs 5.8.8

I would take a look at the script and compare it to the cpan documentation at http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/IO-1.25/lib/IO/Socket/INET.pm

There's a good chance when you upgraded the Perl, the modules were also upgraded and some of the methods in the module have changed.

Just a thought.

By the way, the uninitialized value warning simply indicates you are using a empty/undefined value in a join method in the module. That's why I believe you're not using the module correctly. However, since you've been using the script for 10 years, I'm suggesting the module version has changed.

    It appears the Net::FTP is handling our variables from the script a bit differently. Short story, I modified that piece of our script and it works. Error snippet of code:  $ftp = Net::FTP->new(@ARGV[0],5) or exit(1); Working snippet of code:  $ftp = Net::FTP->new(@ARGV[0]) or exit(1); Thanks all for the great hints and advice.
