Does that sha256 match? tony@mars:~/src$ sha256sum perl-5.31.2.tar.gz 4047199a79bf793e1f245e20fe7eb25f3c76969a475634613b152c5969826d01 perl-5.31.2.tar.gz tony@mars:~/src$ cat perl-5.31.2.tar.gz.sha256.txt 4047199a79bf793e1f245e20fe7eb25f3c76969a475634613b152c5969826d01 Otherwise, since you're using FTP, do you call binary() on the Net::FTP object?
