Perl Error with ftptail script

Hello everyone,

I'm a starting website admin who 2 days ago decided to make the move from shared hosting to a vps on a linux (ubuntu 8.04) platform. This opened a whole new world for me, since I never worked with the console, SSH, linux,... before. I managed to get LAMP setup after a day of wiping my disk, reinstalling my os and starting over and over again.

Now, here's the deal: The website I run is for a small gaming clan based around the online FPS urban terror. We also rent a server from gameservers.com, but they don't allow bots to be run on their server. I learned from the forums of one of these bots that I could use a script called ftptail to access the gamelog in realtime from gameservers.com using my FTP access and copy that info into a new file, which is then used by the bot on the vps to manage the gameserver.

But, when I try to run ftptail, I get this error:
Code:
Undefined subroutine &main::quit called at ./ftptail line 54.

Here's what I did to setup and execute ftptail.
As root user:
mkdir /home/ftptail
cd /home/ftptail
wget http://hamstersoup.com/ftpfail/ftptail
chmod +x ftptail
nano passwd.txt (I entered my ftp pw in this file)
./ftptail -f -s 1 -p passwd.txt [FTPUSERNAME]@[FTPIP(with and without :21)/q3/94.75.249.234:29760/q3ut4/games.log >out

And 'out' would be the folder that the bot would access. Everything works, upto the last command, which gave me the previously mentioned error.

I hope I didn't take too much of your time, and I apologize if this is a very noobish mistake.

Thanks,

Cooki3s!

NAME
Ns_AbsoluteUrl, Ns_ParseUrl, Ns_RelativeUrl, Ns_SkipUrl - URL manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_AbsoluteUrl(Ns_DString *pds, char *url, char *baseurl) int Ns_ParseUrl(char *url, char **pprotocol, char **phost, char **pport, char **ppath, char **ptail) char * Ns_RelativeUrl(char *url, char *location) char * Ns_SkipUrl(Ns_Request *request, int n) _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(pds, url, baseurl) Construct an URL based on baseurl but with as many parts of the incomplete url as possible. Return NS_OK or NS_ERROR. Ns_ParseUrl(url, pprotocol, phost, pport, ppath, ptail) Parse a URL into its component parts. Pointers to the protocol, host, port, path, and "tail" (last path element) will be set by ref- erence in the passed-in pointers. The passed-in url will be modified. Ns_RelativeUrl(url, location) If the url passed in is for this server, then the initial part of the URL is stripped off. e.g., on a server whose location is http://www.foo.com, Ns_RelativeUrl of "http://www.foo.com/hello" will return "/hello". Returns a pointer to the beginning of the relative url in the passed-in url, or NULL if error. Will set errno on error. Ns_SkipUrl(request, n) Return a pointer n elements into the request's url.
