Installing the Net::FTP module

This may be a rather basic, simple (some might say stupid) question, but i have been spending hours on this and got no where. How do I download and install the Perl net::ftp module?

Hi ISAI student, Have a read at the tutorials A Guide to Installing Modules by tachyon or A guide to installing modules for Win32 by holli if you are on a Windows system. These Tutorials cover all you should need to know about downloading and installing modules. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

If you are the admin of your computer (root if it's unix), try typing "cpan -i Net::FTP" at the command line. If that doesn't work, try "perl -MCPAN -e shell", then "install Net::FTP" at the following cpan> prompt.	[reply]
