Ok, I resolved the issue. For some reason PERL does not like the command: $bin=$ftp->binary;
The reason why I needed a variable is to "verify" that it is actually in BIN mode. What I to resolve this issue was to code as follows: $ftp->binary; $bin=$ftp->type; By doing it this way I was able to set it to Binary and then retrieve the type. Thanks for all your assistance.
