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]);

    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);

    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);

      I implemented your suggestion and the $sub call comes back undefined. The $yesterday_date is a date ...> 20060122.
