Net::FTP::Common - get(RemoteFile => ?)

Hi All,

I'm trying to have perl get a file from my web hosting account.  I 
searched around and found Net::FTP::Common.  I get logged into my ftp 
account and can perform a "ls" but I get an error when I try to get a 
file.  Here's the error:  

Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)<<< 230 User bvolk logged in.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)>>> CWD /web
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)<<< 250 CWD command successful.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)>>> TYPE A
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)<<< 200 Type set to A.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)>>> PORT 64,1,0,200,5,34
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)<<< 200 PORT command successful.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)>>> RETR
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82fc210)<<< 500 'RETR ': command not understood.
download of  to get_test.txt failed at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/FTP/Common.pm line 243.

Notice how it says download of (blank) to get_test.txt  could this be 
something?

-------------  part of Common.pm (line 243) -----------------
sub get {

  my ($self,%cfg) = @_;

  my $ftp = $self->prep(%cfg);

  my $r;

  my $file = $self->GetCommon('LocalFile')
      ? $self->GetCommon('LocalFile') : $self->GetCommon('File') ;
  my $local_file = join '/', ($self->GetCommon('LocalDir'), $file);
       

  if ($r = $ftp->get($self->GetCommon('File'), $local_file)) {
      return $r;
  } else {
    warn sprintf "download of %s to %s failed",     <-----------  LINE 243
      $self->GetCommon('File'), $self->GetCommon('LocalFile');
    return undef;
}

----------------and now for the perl script :-) 
-------------------------------

Looks like everything is working except for the last line.

Thanks for your help!!!
