module to transfer files?

[D. Alvarado]

Hello, I'm trying to find some module that will copy a directory from
one computer to a server via FTP. That is, it will overwrite the
directory on the remote server if it already exists or create one if
it doesn't. Thanks - Dave

Which of the modules at CPAN are you considering to make use of for
that task?

Why don't you check CPAN [1] first? A search for 'FTP' in the module name
will certainly give you a lot of (interesting) hits.

Anyway. You could take a look at Net::FTP, which comes with the Perl
distribution. I haven't had the need to use it myself yet, but a quick
look at 'perldoc Net::FTP' assures me that this is a starting point.

Net::FTP

If that doesn't fit the bill, then visit
http://search.cpan.org/
and search for ftp.
