I see. It is a mailer problem. If you follow the thread you will see that this response was focused on Bob's comment concerning gep on file-names. I assumed here that the question concerned not the specific name of the function, but the logical effect--that of getting all matches to a regular expression within a specific domain. When the domain is filenames, i.e. when you seek all files of a given pattern, this logical function can be achieved using the ls method of the Net::FTP object. This capacity, as I said, is clearly not documented, yet it is there. Although I totally agree with Bob's point about grep'ing file contents, it really never occured to me that anyone would expect that capability. It is simply not one of the typical offerings of the FTP protocol. I would look for questions on that more in Net::Telnet, which was specifically designed for running processes on a remote machine.
