This happens when the whole of the libnet installation is not installed I suspect that Net::FTP was installed by copying FTP.pm from the tarball, which is the most common cause of this. Install libnet by running perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Graham.

Already I installed the package, but when executing the commands the message is shown. Agostinho.

FYI I have the same problem. The only unusual thing I did was to run perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/dir/path to attempt a 'non-standard' install. When re-doing a "normal" install I still get the same error. make test reports All tests successful for both the custom and normal installs. Very Interesting. Henry Salvia
