Re: Install Perl Modules Using FTP Without Having Shell Access?

Well, I'll just point out that anything you can do from the shell, you can do from Perl with system(), backticks, or piped open(). Whether that's a good solution to this problem, I can't say. :)

This was the shortest and imho the best answer of any of them (TMTOWTDI!). Yes, it definitely can be done. My node here shows my results. For those who are reading after viewing that node, I will note that the amount of time I spent on setting up directories on the FTP server for my Web site and making the initial uploads of <CITE>pmake</CITE> and the <CITE>Make.pm</CITE> module was fairly large. This isn't a quick fix but once you get it set up it will perhaps serve you well? Intrepid	[reply]
