We are running Solaris 5.8 (SPARC) and have Perl 5.00503 pre-installed as part of the OS. I am developing some FTP scripts and plan to use the Net::FTP module (part of libnet , I believe). It would really help if someone could share their experience in installing libnet 1.x on Solaris 5.8. Also, which version of libnet (Net::FTP) is recommended for Solaris 8 (SPARC) ? I know that this ground work should be done by the system admin, however, I have to do this research and make recommendations to the sys admin, who in turn will be doing the installation. Thanks in advance.
