Net::FTP's constructor calls IO::Socket::INET, which
calls IO::Socket, which in turn calls IO::Handle. And IO::Handle
uses gensym to create the glob.
In other words, if you wanted to fake a (totally functionless!)
object of same type, you could try:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $ftp = Net::FTP::Faked->new();
print "$ftp\n"; # Net::FTP=GLOB(0x63c430)
package Net::FTP::Faked;
use Symbol;
sub new {
my $ftp = gensym;
bless $ftp, "Net::FTP";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
