Hi,
Could someone please confirm whether the answer I gave below to a friend
about perl is correct?
Thanks,
Mark.

>From what I can tell, these are library packages for use with perl. Just
like in LaTeX2e you include packages with the command
\usepackage{amstex}
etc, with perl you include these packages with the command
require 'ftp.pl';
Then you can make use of the functionality these libraries provide.
To make use of them, you would have to learn how to program in perl, which
from what I hear is an excellent and powerful scripting language. One of
these days I might even learn it myself.
Does that answer your question?
Cheers,
Mark.
