I know what the warning means. I'm asking what error you're getting when you try to create the socket.

Or how about this. What's the output of the following? 

perl -MCarp::Always your_script.pl

    Sorry for being vague. I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of perl. When I used the perl -MCarp with my script I'm getting the same error. I would attach the actual script if I knew how to do that.

      I said -MCarp::Always, not -MCarp. 

      $ perl -we'sub f { print join "", undef } f("abc")'
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at -e line 1.

$ perl -MCarp::Always -we'sub f { print join "", undef } f("abc")'
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at -e line 1
        main::f('abc') called at -e line 1

      Besides, I requested one of two pieces of information. If you can't provide one, provide the other. What error are you getting when try to create the socket?

      As for posting code, just include it in <c>...</c> tags. Be sure to make it a minimal, runable demonstration of the problem. 20 lines would be excessive.

        Doesn't appear that we have MCARP included with our Perl installation. I'm not seeing any error when trying to create the socket. Thanks for your help, but guess I'll have to try another FTP process.
