Net::FTP configuration - Perl

[Jade Bulante]

I just installed Net:FTP on an HPUX server and I don't understand the interactive questions which refers to the Makefile.PL. What do I put in on the FTP host question? Is it an IP address of our FTP server? If not, what do I need to put in?? Do you have any doucumentation? Need help.

Hi,

questions are only for test if modules are working correctly.
you can create empty file libnet.cfg
and run:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

read section CONFIGURE

I read it but I don't know what to put in. Is it the IP address of our FTP server?

Hi,

you have to put address which will allow
you ftp anonymous access and have a /pub dir/

you can put for example: sunsite.icm.edu.pl

it will be used when you run commmand:
make test

Plan B:

If you install Perl from any of the later 11x Application CD sets, you will get 5.6.1 which bundles Net::FTP as part of the swinstall package. You can also download and insatll 5.8.x from the Porting Centre.
