body: <p>I have this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my $orig_file_size = -s $file ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is throwing an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>syntax error at ftp_4 line 33, near "$orig_file_size)"
  Execution of ftp_4 aborted due to compilation errors.
  </code></pre>

  <pre><code> my $host ='hpp411';
   my $user ='sonalg';
   my $pw   ='Unix11!';
  
   my $file ='ftp_example.p_1';
   my $path ='/enbusers3.p411/vdx/af/sonalg/oldproj';
   my $orig_file_size = -s $file;
  
   my $ftp = Net::FTP-&gt;new($host, Debug =&gt; 1)
   or die "Could not connect to '$host': $@";
  </code></pre>
