I'm still trying to figure out how to do a seemingly
trivial thing using net::ftp. I have this script
generator called web-libs.. some may have heard of it.
All i want to do is when the script is generated,
have it uploaded as a file to my ISP. I'm assuming
that the userID and password in a net::ftp script
is the same userID and password i would use if using
a regular ftp program. I emailed verio.. here's my
question and they're response.
--------

ME:
I'm trying write a perl script where,
when a user clicks submit, the results
from a form are uploaded to my web site.
Is this possible using verio's perl modules?
Someone informed me about perl modules
called net::ftp, and ftp.pm. If someone
in tech support could give some info
on this, it would be appreciated.
Thanx. :) Lisa.

VERIO:
What you are trying to accomplish can be done. However,
if your script is dependent on the net::ftp module
and there is no way to upload that module to your site
and reference it inside your script then your code will
not work. We will not install modules on the
server. By going to the following url you can see the list of
modules we have installed.

First of all, i was under the assumption that net::ftp
is part of ftp.pm, which is included in their installed
module list. If that's true, i'm not sure why tech support
would tell me to upload the module to my site. If ftp.pm
includes the net::ftp command, can i assume it will work?
Thanx, Lisa.
