Hi, I am actually indeed looking to build on an already existing perl module... i had a look at:
* Net::FTPServer which seems pretty extensive, but from an initial view of the docs, did not give me the ability to easily override the authentication mechnism and use my own database for username/password... I'm hopeful that someone knows of the module "like the above Net::FTPServer" but perhaps slightly more flexible on the authentication side... simran.
