in reply to Net::FTP much slower than command line ftp

I find that the biggest gain you get from Net::FTP is the time saved with the time out. You can also use Net::Ping to check ping ability before you attempt to FTP. I see no reason that your script would take longer than your command line. I have used Net::FTP many times and have not experianced something like that. I would get out my packet sniffer and find out what is going on.
