Ah the "beauty" of a client/server environment. The parameter you pass to the 'cmd'
of the Telnet object is a program (command line) to run in the shell of the external
connection. So you are telling it to run the command Net::FTP=GLOB, etc. which is not
a command. So to FTP from the remote location either you have to call an ftp client on
the remote location on the command line, or you could do something really hokey like
calling perl with the -e operator and passing all of your code over to the perl as a
one liner, this naturally requires Perl to be installed on the remote location.
Essentially all of this is VERY ugly and a pain in the butt, but it can be done. In
fact we are doing this over an SSH connection, but it ain't pretty let me tell ya (and
I didn't write it).
