Net:ftp directory

<http> <body> Let's say instead of Net::ftp, i use ftp.pm since that's
all verio seems to have.. here's the module link:
http://home.verio.com/support/hosting/perl_modules.cfm
So how would the first line of the script look? Should i
still use the double colons.. :: ..?

Lisa.

use NET::FTP;
my $hostname='Lisa.com';
my $user='Lisa';
my $password='Lisa';
my $ftp=Net::FTP -> new($hostname) or die ("Connect failed");
$ftp->login($username,$password);
$ftp->binary;
$ftp->cwd("/pub/uploads");
$ftp->put("mystuff.txt");
$ftp->get("warezlist.txt");
$ftp->quit

The "Net" before the colons indicates that the module is in the Net directory. If the module you want, say "Bubba.pm" is in the "Slurpy" directory, then you allow yourself to use it with `use Slurpy::Bubba;` [download] If Bubba is in a Perl "main" directory, then it finds it when you write "use Bubba". If you insist that there is no "Net::FTP" module that you can use, I would 1) throw my hand in the air and "use FTP;" and 2) consider switching servers to someplace that knows something more about Perl dependencies.

As many people seem to have pointed out to you, it should be: `use Net:FTP;` [download] Not, NET::FTP, or Net::ftp or any of the other variations that you've tried. Perl is case sensitive, so nothing else will work. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply] [d/l]
