Re^4: Perl to mount a virtual filesystem on Windows?

The basic idea is to write a script (or app, with the help of Wx::Perl) that, once fired up, registers an additional device drive and enables me to have convenient access to a FTP server via Net::FTP.

I understood that you want to link to an FTP-server. The customary way to do this is through an FTP-client, such as Net::FTP. Going through a virtual drive to link to the FTP-server (if at all possible) would just complicate things.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

You got a point there, my post was misunderstandable.. The idea is to write an end-user app, a gui with simple functions, and the underlying protocol won't be FTP, I used it just to illustrate the idea.. Thanks anyaway!	[reply]
