in reply to net::ftp please

You've been asking lots of questions but haven't been doing lots of listening. It has been already explained to you that ftp.pm is in the Net directory, which makes it Net::FTP. Could the capitalized (hence non-existent) module be the problem?

Net:ftp directory
by Anonymous Monk on Apr 18, 2001 at 05:13 UTC
    <http> <body> Let's say instead of Net::ftp, i use ftp.pm since that's
    all verio seems to have.. here's the module link:
    http://home.verio.com/support/hosting/perl_modules.cfm
    So how would the first line of the script look? Should i
    still use the double colons.. :: ..?

    Lisa.

    use NET::FTP;
    my $hostname='Lisa.com';
    my $user='Lisa';
    my $password='Lisa';
    my $ftp=Net::FTP -> new($hostname) or die ("Connect failed");
    $ftp->login($username,$password);
    $ftp->binary;
    $ftp->cwd("/pub/uploads");
    $ftp->put("mystuff.txt");
    $ftp->get("warezlist.txt");
    $ftp->quit
      The "Net" before the colons indicates that the module is in the Net directory. If the module you want, say "Bubba.pm" is in the "Slurpy" directory, then you allow yourself to use it with
      use Slurpy::Bubba;
      If Bubba is in a Perl "main" directory, then it finds it when you write "use Bubba". If you insist that there is no "Net::FTP" module that you can use, I would 1) throw my hand in the air and "use FTP;" and 2) consider switching servers to someplace that knows something more about Perl dependencies.

      As many people seem to have pointed out to you, it should be:

      use Net:FTP;

      Not, NET::FTP, or Net::ftp or any of the other variations that you've tried. Perl is case sensitive, so nothing else will work.
