Hello,
currently I build a little Mac auto downloader using Net::FTP.
First - an extreme acceleration happened after using MacPerl 5.6.1a5
compared to 5.20r4.
There is a problem though in Net::Cmd.pm. SIGPIPE must be commented.
This is scheduled in the MacPerl Bug list.
Another problem arises if you download files with a leading space
in its filename. Upload $ftp->put() is fine, download $ftp->get()
will strip the leading blank. This is because Net::FTP uses open()
rather than sysopen(). Graham Barr confirmed this and will correct
this in future versions.
A workaround is using $ftp->get( $remote, $local ) where local
contains the full path including spaces.
Thanks for listening :)
Axel
