mce has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All

I want to use Net::FTP::Recursive on my perl 5.0 installation. But this module is made for 5.6 (it contains some our's).

Now, I cannot install 5.6, but when I looked at the pm file, it is relatively simple to remove the our's so that it can run on the 5.0 installation.

Once I have done this, I just append the pm file to my own written pm file (which is a base class to handle ftp transactions at my company).

Is this OK?
Can I do this?
I mean, it will work, but is it legal?

All suggestions are welcome?
