hi,
I have a project that I am working on that I need to FTP some data from a
server to another server. I used Net::FTP from libnet to do it. I tested it
on my local machine & it works fine, did the job. however when tried it on
my site I found out that libnet was not installed. <sigh> contacting the
hosting company they said they would not install libnet in the Perl
libraries. so, I got the bundle from CPAN, copied them into my local CGI
bin & installed them. the Makefile seemed to go OK. HOWEVER, I cannot get my
script to find the modules.
here's the initial part of the code. according to the error message it fails
on line 4 where it cannot find the Net::FTP module.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:all);
use lib "/libnet/Net";
use Net::FTP;
print header;
my script is in a folder called weather in the CGI directory. the Net folder
containing the FTP module is in a folder called libnet off the root of CGI.
like this:
CGI
libnet
Net
FTP.pm
weather
weather_ftp.cgi
any help would be appreciated.
