How do I traverse a remote (ftp) directory tree with Perl?

Question

Before I reinvent the wheel, is there any module like File::Find that works via ftp?

Always search CPAN to see if you find modules for what you want.

I'm confused about this module, the documentation is not very clear to me. I'm trying the `rdir()` method and it seems kind of pointless. Why does it need a filehandle to write to? `yoursub` gets passed a string containing the usual `ls -l` formatted output and it does **not** dive into subdirectories. What's the point? I was looking for something that scanned the tree and allowed the user's subroutine to do something with what's found, maybe passing it a hashref with infos about the file... or maybe I'm doing something wrong. – Matteo Riva Nov 25 '09 at 21:26
