kwaping is right. from the CPAN docs: `rget ( [ParseSub =>\&yoursub] [,FlattenTree => 1] [,RemoveRemoteFiles +=> 1] )` [download] If you want the map() to be used in parsing, i believe you need to pass it as a subroutine reference. __________ Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

So if I try the following ( $yesterdays_date(variable) being a directory inside the remote_path) is correct? I don't wish to remove the files just copy... `my $output = $ftp->rget([ParseSub =>\&$yesterdays_date]);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you're using version 1.6 or higher of Net::FTP::Recursive, this might better suit your needs: `my $regex = qr/$yesterdays_date/; my $output = $ftp->rget(MatchDirs => $regex);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Upon further inspection of the documentation, it appears the module's author forgot or otherwise neglected to document the usage of `ParseSub`. My guess is to do something like this: `my $sub = sub { return shift =~ /$yesterdays_date/ }; my $output = $ftp->rget(ParseSub => $sub);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think what I am confused about is the \&yoursub call. Do I replace this sytex with my reference to the directory?	[reply]

Hello Sorry, the snippet it did not include all the variables. The $extract variable is a directory inside the remote_path i.e /tng/logs/KM - > The KM being the $extract. The idea is to throw a different directory through a subroutine... The objective here is to simply login to the ftp site and copy a specific directory tree to a local storage network. The snippet was copied from the authors examples.. Thank you for your time... your help is greatly appreciated.	[reply]
