I wrote about recursive FTP directory traversal in an article for The Perl Journal - it was published in issue #16 (volume 4 number 4 for those of you keeping score).

Holy HTML Batman, somebody has put the whole dang thing up on the web: http://library.cs.tuiasi.ro/programming/perl/tpj/issues/vol4_4/tpj0404-0009.html

I have a .tar.gz of the article source on my Perl page: http://www.lanois.com/perl/20000131_000000.html

Anyway, let me know if you need more information.
