Re^2: ftp scripts

Hie hubb0r, does all this modules comes with perl by default? (sorry, i am totally new to perl, i am a ASP guy trying to learn perl). i am working on a huge production server which i can't just simply install a new module. thats why i need to have some raw scripts.. Thanks for sharing with me... Cheers, Darren

Have you checked to see if Net::FTP is available? Maybe you don't even have to worry about all this stuff. If you can read the documentation, you have the module. `perldoc Net:::FTP` [download] Failing that, make friends with an admin. :) -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply] [d/l]

If you can install a new script, you should be able to install most modules too. Anyway, Net::FTP is not part of the perl core distribution, but its libnet package is so useful that it's practically always available on machines with a perl install anyway. At the very least, it should be available as a system package (rpm, deb, ppm, whatever) for any system you'd want to run a production server on.

Keep in mind that modules don't have to be installed system-wide; you can install a private copy of Net::FTP in a private directory, and put `use lib '/path/to/private/dir';` at the top of your script to use it.	[reply] [d/l]
