I have been on AS perl for a number of years and FTP is part of the install. I am running on win2k, AS 5.6.0. I typeed perldoc Net::FTP and it displaged out. So what version are you running. I have a scond machine which is running nt 4.0 service pak 6 and it also has AS 5.6.0 and when I typed in above command, the same perl doc came out. I amy be wrong, but I believe that FTP is part of libnet install.

You don't need to install it. > As far as I can see, there is no such file like perl/lib/Net/FTP.pm on my WindowsNT system. Moreover, the command "perldoc Net::FTP" results in "No documentation found"; but this is ActiveState Perl that I deal with. So, I suppose, Net::FTP is not installed yet. As to CPAN module - it often refuses to install modules, halting at "make test" or "make" stages. So, the thing I am searching for is just another lazy way to install perl modules, or maybe some ways to tweak PPM to make it function properly. Thank you. kosta
