I am hoping to use the Net::FTP to download a remote file from an IBM Mainframe when a user clicks views a page. I currently have a program that will then read that file and display the contents in a chart. The site is on our Intranet and is hit around 10 times a day. Is their some way that I can access the Net::FTP from Perl Script. Also, I am running ActivePerl v.5.6. I have been attempting to install Net::FTP and I haven't been able to do so properly. I have tried installing from the PPM and I recieve an error that it cannot locate the PPD file for that module. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
