No, you should have read the docs on open, and probably perlopentut.

What I suggested above is that you open a file for output, and use its filehandle. You do that like this:

$ftp->binary; open my $filehandle, '>', 'c:/Temp/00000001.610' or die "Couldn't open output file.\n$!"; binmode $filehandle; $ftp->get("00000001.610", $filehandle); close $filehandle or die 'Couldn't close output file.\n$!"; $ftp->quit;

That is untested, so use at your own risk. Also, eliminate the $ftp->binary; line, and the 'binmode $filehandle;' line if you are dealing with text files.
