in reply to net:ftp

I don't see either FTP.pm ( whatever that is ) nor Net::FTP in that list. What's mildly interesting here is that I thought Net::FTP was a prerequisite to installing libwww, but they seem to have that installed ... weird

In any case, I think you're asking the wrong question:

I'm trying write a perl script where, when a user clicks submit, the results from a form are uploaded to my web site.

That's fine, but I think you're talking about HTML forms, in which case it doesn't use FTP. it uses HTTP + CGI.

Just as luck would have it, it looks like they don't have CGI.pm installed at your ISP, but you can always install it on your home directory. Perhaps a better approach to this is to change your ISP to some where that has better perl support...

    No.. mad-libs saves the generated script as
    a file. As soon as the file is saved on my
    harddisk,i want to to upload to my ISP site.

      Hmm, I'm not aware of this mad-lib stuff, but I just have this sneaking suspscioun that something is not right...

      I'm assuming this situation: for whatever reasons, you have a need to upload via ftp a file to (presumably) your account in your ISP.

      If that were the case, then there's no point in asking for the module list of your ISP... You would instead need Net::FTP in your local host, not in your ISP, no?

        yess.. that's exactly right. From what ive read at
        perlmonks, i was under the assumtion that my ISP had to
        have net::ftp installed. But yess, i want to upload a
        file to form to my ISP automatically when submit is
        clicked. If i need to have net:ftp on my local computer,
        i consider that strange since i have never
        had to have any perl modules installed on my own local
        PC.. remember, i'm not running a server here.. i have a
        single stand alone PC.. and an ISP. Any more advice?
        meow..!!
        Thanx, Lisa.

    Doesn't this mean it's installed?
    ./site_perl/URI/URL/http.pm
    ./site_perl/URI/URL/ftp.pm <--------?
    ./site_perl/URI/URL/_generic.pm?
[reply]
      No, that module would be URL::URI::ftp
      the one you want should look like this:
      ./site_perl/net/ftp.pm
