Yes I got the same error and get through buy just ignoring the 227 server messages. Basically the module is looking for a 230 message with the passive command to run in on client server. My Hack is,

if ($msg =~ /(230)/i)
{
  while($msg !~ /(227)/i)
  {
    $msg = $self-<getline();
  }
}

If anyone found a better solution than this. Please let us know.
