Maybe it's not using passive ftp for some reason. Try:

If you restrict your 'no strict' to a very small block, it's really no
problem at all. Best practice is to apply it to the smallest possible
block possible. This would be even better than what I initially wrote:
foreach ... {
# "setup" code here
{
no strict 'refs';

One kind of nasty option is to use string eval:
$varname = "\$${_}_type";
eval "$varname = ";
There are technical caveats and perhaps moral issues with this approach,
but it works.

Upon encountering unexpected behavior, the best plan is almost always to
produce a minimal amount of real working code that reproduces the

No need to use LWP. You can call CPAN directly:
use CPAN;
CPAN::install("Some::Module");
But why stop at writing a standalone script? How about a Devel:: module

If you print out $r2, you'll see:

So perl is applying the /x modifier by setting the x flag and unsetting
