Hi Monks, I am looking for the following functionality. A perl script that connects to an FTP server, - downloads files (which match a certain name) into a local folder. - deletes the files on successful download. So far i am upto this point where i can print out the matched files. I can't seem to download them or delete them. 
use Net::FTP;
use File::Copy;

$Login = "abc";
$Pwd = "pwd";
$ftpHost = "10.23.2";
$ftpFolder = "F1";
$matchPattern = "Jeeves";
$LocalDirectory = \etc\local;

$ftp=NET::FTP->new($ftpHost,Timeout=>100);
$ftp->login($Login,$Pwd);
$ftp->cwd($ftpFolder);

# to find files that match the pattern
@files = grep /$matchPattern/, $ftp->dir

foreach(@files) 
{
print $_; 
# Successfully prints the filename, but with all the details like perm
+issions date created etc.
# I need to write a code that helps me get this file out into a local 
+directory 
# I need to then delete the file.

}

Can you please help.
