in reply to Net::Ftp::Recursive ParseSub Help

Well, it's because you are on Windows, and 'ls -al' is not a valid Windows command. You will have to use the Windows/DOS equivalent of directory listing command. You could give the following a try, by overriding the default 'ls -al' command under unix with 'cmd.exe /C dir /B' command under Windows.

$ftprput ( ParseSub => \&get_list,
           DirCommand => 'cmd.exe /C dir /b' );

# or this -

$ftprput ( ParseSub => \&get_list,
           DirCommand => 'dir /b' ); # use current cmd shell

    I need to write a function get_list that sets these values somehow but i am not sure how to start. This had to have been done before since it is neccessary if you use this on a windows platform.

    THanks in advance for your help.
