in thread need to access a remote server to move the files around in a set folder there

i know they use ftp around here..if i was not clear, let me explain how things are planned.

perl script to perform lookup from database as to where to move the files present in the dump folder ( the movement is criteria based - depends on filename) resides on a local machine (unix.. am not sure of which version).

The server contains a dump folder where all the files of batch processing are dumped by other processes.

my script should move the files from dump folder on the server to two other folders on the same server, namely print and review.

I am just getting the hang of making this work on my local machine.as in moving from one folder to another bacsed on what i look up.

As far as my research goes , i found out that file::remote would work.And I was hoping i could do this using ssh.Could you explain if i need special stuff to do this?
Thanks

    You may want to start with ssh modules on CPAN and see what you find. Also search for ssh on perlmonks. This is a common question, and search / supersearch can be your friends.
