whoops "panic: realloc" I meant :)

one additional note: Net::Cmd needs to be patched for MacPerl, either like
this: 

line 169 
   #local $SIG{"PIPE"} = 'IGNORE';# commented out for MacPerl,
                                  # reason unknown as of 12/28/00

or this

local $SIG{"PIPE"} = 'IGNORE'
    unless $^O eq 'MacOS';

which I haven't tried, since for me, commenting out the offending code works
best, but you can do it any way you like. :)

other than that, Net::FTP seems to work fine for what I'm using it for, so
far.. *crossing fingers* (:
