Hi,

I am using a FTP session in my perl script and i want to update the time
taken by the process. But i feel that there may be problem with the code.
thanks for any help you can provide...

==================================

$sd=`date +%m/%d/%Y`;

$st=`date +%H:%M:%S`;

print FTP "bin\n$_[5] $_[4]\n";

print FTP "dir $_[4] $_[4].$_[1]\n";

print FTP "bye\n" ;

$ed=`date +%m/%d/%Y`;

$et=`date +%H:%M:%S`;

Thanks
