If I were you, I'd start by reading the documentation for:

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.

        one more small question... in my perl script I am using this module 'use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel' to create excel spreadsheets. I have noticed that in order for the functions to work and create the workbooks/worksheets that the application has to be running at the background. IS there any way that I can do this without excel running? Am I doing something wrong or do I still need to add something to my code. The aim for this script is to run at scheduled times, thus it is quite possible that excel won't be running at the time. Thank you in advance
