Re^2: system call to ftp

[Anonymous Monk]

Okay, Agreed .But the other system which the script going to be put into run,may or may not have Net::FTP (old perl version) or its dependent packages which in turn gives problem , ie why i tried to use system, Anyhow i have partially fixed the problem ,

 ....
 system("ftp -n -s:ftpcred.txt $host > out.txt");
 ....
 
# file:ftpcred.txt
#==================
user
root
xxxx
ls
quit

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

corelist -d Net::FTP

Net::FTP was first released with perl v5.7.3

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.

You mean , this package is available from the first release of perl ? and it will run on every boxes with different linux/unix/windows flavors?
