RE: [Expectperl-discuss] 'Ftp' acts different in Cygwin and Linux

[Blackstone, J. D. <jda...@ci...>]

Hi, folks,

  This isn't a legislative body.  We're not going to decide the one best way
and force it on everyone. :)

  That said, all of our experiences give us different insights and in the
Perl community noone holds back on sharing their insights.  (And very few
hold back on insisting that their insight is the best.)  So, at any rate,
I'll tell you what I know, and what I think, and you can take it or leave
it. :)

  Happy coding!
