Greetings Monks:

I am interested inleading up to a reply to How do I make Net::FTP use wildcards and I have put together this script so far. It is meant to backup a diectory of images to a local file.

The following code produces the following output: 
#! /usr/bin/perl

#FTP to2600@darkphiber.ca  for seCr33n CaPtu7e fetch
#
#Authored:/home/japh

use Net::FTP;

$hostname='darkphiber.ca';
$username='to2600@darkphiber.ca';
$hack_the_planet='h4x0r5';

#update by OM Tue May 31 17:15:45 EDT 2005

$home='/home/neutrin0/2600';
$filename="neutrin0.to2600.3105a.jpg";

# open conection to ftp.darkphiber.ca

$ftp=Net::FTP->new($hostname);
$ftp->login($username,$hack_the_planet);

print "Current Listing of $username";
 @dirlisting=$ftp->ls(),"\n";

atomize(@dirlisting);
#retrieve $filename and exit
#not sure how the output of atomize should be utilized here

$ftp->get($filename);
$ftp->quit;

sub atomize{
for $screencapture(@philes){print "output of ftp listing->$screencaptu
+re\n"}
}

output of ftp listing->neutrin0.to2600.3105a.png
output of ftp listing->neutrin0.to2600.3105b.png
output of ftp listing->neutrin0.to2600.3105c.png
output of ftp listing->neutrin0.to2600.3105d.png

How can i utilize the output of the method or (err sub routine) in atomize to get the image to my harddrive?


Thanks Monks
