The >setup tells you this. This is what made it useless for me - I've got a couple of folders which I need to ignore and having persevered with a mirroring app called iSync which created more work than it actually automated so I got the urge to write something in Perl....

I ended up using File::Find and Net::FTP and my own >quick n dirty (ok, more dirty that quick:) code... that was the path I took too, what I've got at the moment checks the mod date of local files to see if they need to be sent because I needed that functionality like yesterday. I have done the coding to get the dir-tree from the remote server all I've got left to do is write code to compare the two dir trees to check if they are identical and remove any files or dirs on the remote that aren't in the local site, however the code is entirely Mac centric, which is what prompted me reply to your posting - there are two mirror mods but neither were written to run on a Mac because nobody (including me) seems to think it worthwhile porting these to the Mac. So: Is anyone else interested in seeing this project on CPAN?
