I've used Net::FTP many times. But adding additional dependencies just to _install_ the module (and also relying on the user being able to connect via FTP to an external server _at the time of install_) is probably not a great idea. I could ship the Olson db files, which are a bit more compact than the generated Perl modules. But as I said to Tim, I'd like to wait on addressing this until after I'm sure the code works, if factored properly, etc. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
