As others have pointed out, this is because Net::FTP is calling fileno. I just tried this and it worked for me - I don't think it will solve all your problems, but it might be a good starting point.

my $data="FOOBAR";

pipe PIPEREAD, PIPEWRITE;
print PIPEWRITE $data;
close PIPEWRITE;

my($ftp) = Net::FTP->new($destserv) || die "error connecting\n";
$ftp->login($destuser, $destpass);
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->put(*PIPEREAD,"remotelogfile") or die "error uploading\n";
$ftp->quit();

Basically, I used pipe to create a real pipe between Perl and whatever Net::FTP is doing.

Have fun,

Rich

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
