Hi Perl Monks,


I am having a problem that I hope someone might help solve. I would like to find a way to either read a file line by line from a remote FTP source (preferable via Net::FTP or the like) or to read the file into an array where I might process it line by line. I have tried using some of the examples in Net::FTP as shown below but haven't been able to quite understand how I would go about doing this. Can anyone help?


$ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.host.com", Debug => 0) || die "Cannot connec
+t to some.host.name: $@";
$ftp->login("user",'pass') || die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->cwd("/disk2/Danny")||die "Cannot change working directory ", $ft
+p->message;
$ftp->get("cordis_grant_info.txt",$file)|| die "get failed ", $ftp->me
+ssage;
