Well spotted - moving the switch to binary mode to just prior to the get() call fixes the issue. With ftp.pl in its original form, I always saw output of: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for perl-5.31.1.tar.gz (17593158 bytes) and thought that meant that I was, in fact, downloading in binary mode. Apparently that's not correct. What does that output actually tell me ? The next question is "Is it fair enough that the mirrors.rit.edu server requires this of my script ?" Since binary() is a method that's called on the Net::FTP object I would have expected that calling $ftp->binary() could be done at any time after initialization of $ftp. Also, note that the ftp.funet.fi server has no such requirement. The script output reveals that on the ftp.funet.fi server the switch to binary mode is made *after* the login, even though the script calls the binary method *before* the login.
