Is this module just like Net::FTP? No it is not!
|
|
|
|
1. It is a subclass and not a new class that uses Net::FTP underneath.
|
|
That means the object is a normal Net::FTP object and has all the methods
|
|
Net::FTP has.
|
|
2. It does not override Net::FTP methods (IE does not have methods the
|
|
same name as Net::FTP) which means you don't have to sort through how the
|
|
function differs from the standard version in the Net::FTP module.
|
|
3. Its waaaay simpler to use without a bunch of weird config stuff to
|
|
cloud the issue, odd hard to remember arguments, obscure methods to
|
|
replace valid existing ones that are part of Net::FTP, or new methods that
|
|
are badly named (IE think "grep" on this one). There are other things as
|
|
well.
|
|
4. It follows the paradigm of Perl name spaces, objects, and general
|
|
good practice much better and in a way that is more intuitive and
|
|
expandable.
