I want to download from a ftp server (host1) a bunch of directories with content. To do that I use library Net::FTP::Recursive. When I run the code the folders and files were downloaded. Nevertheless, I got this message:
>Can't call method "filename" without a package or object reference
at C:\10_LIB~1\PerlLib\lib\perl5/Net/FTP/Recursive.pm line 86.
I wonder why this happens, what impact it has and how I can avoid this.
Here is the code to download:
# -- Libraries
# coding and diagnostic
use strict;
use warnings;
# FTP connection
use Net::FTP;
use Net::FTP::Recursive;
# -- Settings
my $host1 = "ftp.host1.com";
my $user1 = "myname\@myweb.com";
my $password1 = "password";
# -- Connection to ftp server
my $f1 = Net::FTP::Recursive->new($host1) or die "Can't open \$f1 $host1\n";
$f1->login($user1, $password1) or die "Can't log \$f1 $user1 in\n";
$f1->cwd() or die "Can't cwd to host folder\n";
# $f1->ascii();
$f1->binary;
# -- Directory to download the contents
my $download = "C:/mydirectory/download";
chdir($download);
# -- Host1
$f1->cwd();
$f1->rget( ParseSub => \&yoursub1 );
$f1->quit;
sub yoursub1 {
$f1->rget;
}
I used perl on Windows 7 with version:
perl -v
This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 0 (v5.28.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
And here is the code from /Net/FTP/Recursive.pm until line 86 from the message:
sub _rget {
my($ftp) = shift;
my @dirs;
my @ls = $ftp->dir();
my @files = $options{ParseSub}->( @ls );
@files = grep { $_->filename =~ $options{MatchAll} } @files
if $options{MatchAll};
@files = grep { $_->filename !~ $options{OmitAll} } @files
if $options{OmitAll};
print STDERR join("\n", @ls), "\n"
if $ftp->debug;
my $remote_pwd = $ftp->pwd;
my $local_pwd = Cwd::cwd();
FILE:
foreach my $file (@files){
#used to make sure that if we're deleting the files, we
#successfully retrieved the file
my $get_success = 1;
my $filename = $file->filename(); # <- 86
