Revered Monks,
I am a newcomer to Perl and have been tasked with the job of developing a script that will process all files in a directory located on a remote server. I have succeeded in writing a script that will process the contents of a local directory but now I need to add code so it will do the same thing for a remote directory. I was looking at File::Remote (found it in CPAN), but it appears that this will not let me open a remote directory and process every file in it. It seems to be limited to working with a remote file and not a directory. I need to do a remote equivalent of opendir, readdir and closedir; for each member in the directory list, I need to do the usual open, read and close. Can this be done entirely from within Perl or will I need to FTP the directory contents to a local folder from which I can then run my Perl script? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
