 ....

FYI, Net::FTP is a core dual-lived module. If the other system has perl installed, then it has Net::FTP.	[reply]

`corelist -d Net::FTP Net::FTP was first released with perl v5.7.3` [download] Sigh ... 5.7.3 was released 10 years ago. If you're restricted to perls older than 5.7.3, I'll say a prayer for you. -derby	[reply] [d/l]
