True, but it is an inadequately documented feature of the module. The pod
indicates only an optional DIR parameter for the ls function:
ls ( [ DIR ] )
Get a directory listing of "DIR", or the current directory.
In an array context, returns a list of lines returned from the
server. In a scalar context, returns a reference to a list.
But the following:
my @files = $ftp->ls("*.jpg");
print "$_\n" foreach @files;
does render:
Clouds.jpg
DarkSky.jpg
