Net::FTP is available from the libnet distribution on CPAN. Please visit http://kobsearch.cpan.org or http://search.cpan.org to obtain libnet and install that before installing Net::FTP::Common. The libnet@lists.perl.org mailing list deals with Net::FTP and the people there are relatively helpful. Another source is comp.lang.perl.modules. A final source is www.perlmonks.org. An even more final source is me, but I am not a Net::FTP expert, so don't expect miracles. But of course for any issues with Net::FTP::Common, contact me immediately please - tbone@cpan.org or through the mailing list: net-ftp-common@yahoogroups.com. Note: 'make test' will only work if you have correctly installed Net::FTP to connect to FTP sites on the open internet. The test suite makes FTP connects to ftp.fcc.fov and fedworld.gov so if your installation of Net::FTP cannot connect there, then this suite will fail. Common reasons for Net::FTP being unable to make such FTP connections are * if you are firewalled and have not configured Net::FTP to negotiate your type of firewall (it handles everyone I have ever encounted quite well). * if you aren't currently connected to the internet. Installation ------------ 1- make 2- make test 3- make install Mailing List ------------ Post message:net-ftp-common@yahoogroups.com Subscribe: net-ftp-common-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Unsubscribe: net-ftp-common-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com List owner (moi): net-ftp-common-owner@yahoogroups.com EOF
