PERL script debugging help

maxwelton — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 01:56:23 -0800

Need a PERLexpert to help me figure out why a canned script I use to FTP from one server to another has suddenly stopped being 100% reliable. My host upgraded my PERL version and that may be what has caused it to puke. The script is running on a freeBSD web host on Apache. I think the script is generally solid, it worked fine for years, and I haven't changed it. The original author is no longer supporting it, I don't think. I can budget a couple of hours at $100/per for this. If it takes longer than that to fix, I will need to approach my client to pay for this, which would be a joy and make me look even more incompetent than I already do. I'm hoping for a bubblegum and bailing wire solution.
