Hi,
I have a stupid question to you guys; I need to install Net::Ftp module on a solaris production machine and feeling insecure to screw up the system installing the wrong one. How can I now wich module version to install?
Net::FTP should come as a base module with newer Perls.

Will tell you if Net::FTP can't be found, otherwise it should be correctly installed.
Otherwise you should use CPAN to install, it will pick the right version for you.
Probably as 'root', invoke CPAN with:
> perl -MCPAN -e shell
Answer the configuration questions, use the defaults when you don't know the answer. Then,
cpan> install Net::FTP
Should take care of the rest. You will need 'make' installed, and for many modules a compiling enviornment, including the C compiler used to compile the Perl. To find what C compiler was used issue,
> perl -V
I do that all the time on my linux machine, but this time is a production server and caution is not a bad practice :-)
Thanks in advance for the help.
If there are issues during the install send another question....
