I want to implement a implement a poor man's ftp server that has minimal dependencies (like none!). I'll write a simple custom poor man's ftp client on the other side. Since I'm writing both the client and the server, I don't need to worry about adherence to the ftp standard -- only the concept.
So how can I write a simple perl program that waits on a TCP socket for a file name followed by the file contents (I don't need to worry the path names -- everything goes in the same directory). Can I assume that an entire perl source code file will fit in a single socket packet? I've only used print statements before. I could write a single record per the call to the socket send function. Is there a better way? (I hope so!) Recommendations are welcome! thanks, siegfried -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
