Hi group,

I'm troubleshooting a perl 5.6 Win32 app that uses Net::FTP. I am trying
to ftp using a file handle instead of a local file name.

POD says something like $ftp->put(LOCAL_FILE [REMOTE_FILE]) where
LOCAL_FILE may be a file name or a file handle. I know $filename does
exist, I can see it!

This works: $ftp->put( $filename, $somename) ;

But this fails with "Cannot open local file HANDLE: No such file or
directory"

open( HANDLE, "< $filename");
$ftp->put( HANDLE, $somename);

open() does open the file. fileno() says a descriptor is assigned. The
error is thrown by put(), specifically IO::Handle. Can someone tell me
what I am doing wrong??

Thanks,
Sturdy
