RM> This has bitten me before. I usually use tr to strip the CR:

Indeed, tr works great for this. But I think the issue
is not so much with *solving* the problem as it is with
*finding* the problem...

curl -l ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/perl/ | while read FILENAME
do
 curl -vsSO ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/perl/$FILENAME
done

Curl says:

* About to connect() to ftp.gtk.org port 21
* Trying 128.32.112.248... connected

Compare with wget:

curl -l ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/perl/ | while read FILENAME
do
 wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/perl/$FILENAME
done

--09:19:24-- ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/perl/Gnome-0.3000.tar.gz%0D

As you can see, wget more clearly shows where the problem is.
