Sorry, I wasn't asking you to necessarily write it. Just wondering if you thought it was a good idea or not.

My skills are definitely not up to your level, but I think I'll take a crack at it tonight utilizing your module.

Thanks again.

Well, about 45 minutes into getting URI to properly break down an ftp URL and making it work with Net::FTP::Scalar I was digging through LWP::* trying to find an example of using $uri->path_segments(). I found a good example. In fact I found exactly what I was trying to do. Then I realized: LWP::Simple supports FTP. I should have known..after all this is Perl. `perl -e 'use LWP::Simple qw(get); print(get("ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt"));'` Staunch	[reply] [d/l]
