And that tells us nothing.  I assume that you are running the standard HP-UX 'ftpd' daemon. What release of HP-UX?  Do you mean that the 'xferlog' isn't being updated?  If not, do you have 'ftpd' configured with '-i in '/etc/inetd.conf'?  Do you have an 'ftpaccess' file that overrides that?

Does this logging failure only occur with your Perl script or does a command line FTP fail to log too?

It would help if you could show what was on line 60 and print the values of any variables being used there.

vim /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi/XSLoader.pm

93 push(@DynaLoader::dl_shared_objects, $file); # record files loaded
94 return &$xs(@_);

Hi:

So, you're running on AIX not HP-UX.  Yes, I suspect that hostnames longer than the classic 8-character limit are a problem.  Why not test on a host whose name is =< 8 ?

Actually *posting* the entire script would be more informative then piece-meal, vague descriptions of behavior and observations :-)

Regards!

(It would be helpful if you didn't use texting shortcuts, used spell check and fairly complete sentences.  And proper capitalization would be a plus.  :-)

You can go back and edit your posts.

Perhaps you don't have the right suffix, try .txt.
