Re: ftp and sockets

Well, without any actual code to look at it's all conjecture but: a call to accept will block until a connection is received. If you want to continue processing you'll need to use select or IO::Select to manage multiple connections, or use an event framework like POE.

You might want to rethink that, you will spend much more time trying to find solutions to all kinds of "interesting" networking-related issues than you would learning POE. Especially if you start with some POE components relevant to your task, such as POE::Component::Client::FTP, POE::Component::Client::TCP and/or POE::Component::Server::TCP.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!
