| Hi, the first question has nothing to do with Perl, can anyone tell me why:
1. When I ftp a file from RH 9.0 to AIX, regardless of transfer mode
(binary or ASCII), the resultant file always has "^M"s appended to each
line?
2. The RH 9.0 ftp daemon (ftpd) returns "OK" when you list a
non-existant file or directory? By "OK" I mean, it prints "226 Directory
send OK." and gives a status code of "2", whereas other ftp daemons
(TRU-64, AIX, even IIS!) return "5". These codes I obtained by using the
Perl NET::FTP module.
3. The RH 9.0 ftp daemon (ftpd) cannot the "size" command from Perl
NET::FTP (i.e. $ftp->size($filename)), while "size" does work when
issued from an ftp command-line client?
My assumption of complete compability between different "flavours" of
UNIX was obviously, err, optimistic. 
Cheers,
Dave
