Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

my $logpath = "ftp://rpgwarrior:PASS@l33t.ca/public_html/aimbot/logs/users/$nick.log";

open(USRLOG,">>$logpath");
print USRLOG ctime()."\t$nick: $stripped\n";
print USRLOG ctime()."\t$mynick: $arelem\n";
close(USRLOG);

why dont that work???
ive tryed it on other sites that l33t.ca too but it still wont work, why??

    You can't open a remote file on a local box like that. Try Net::FTP instead.

    UPDATE:

    Hmmm, on second thought ... i don't think i would use FTP for this problem. One solution is to write a CGI script on the remote box, maybe htaccess protect it. Another is to use SOAP::Lite or XML::RPC to send messages.
