in thread Generating reports from Databases

continuing in terms of the generation of reports, i mentioned that these are aimed to be created and emailed automatically. If I had to do this another way, such as placing the reports at a specific place where these could be downloaded or accessed at a global basis. Given the capabilities of perl, what are my options/possibilities from achieving something like this?? Thank you in advance

    If you are serious about placing the reports where they'd be accessible via an FTP client such as FileZilla, perhaps you might start with:

    Update: You might wish to glance through QandASection: HTTP and FTP clients, see if anything there sparks an idea or gives you some keywords to run through Super Search.

      i was just wondering, is FTP the only way to achieve something like this? is there an easier alternative to make these generated reports available for acess to authorized parties globally? would LWP::UserAgent be suitable?

        You can always read the docs for LWP::UserAgent to find out, or Super Search to see if anyone else has solved a problem similar to the one you are working on.
