Net::FTPServer::PWP is supported with a specialized ::DirHandle software for easy folder navigation. This software can handle FTPServer and PWP protocols efficiently.
I recently had the opportunity to try out Net::FTPServer::PWP::DirHandle, a useful Perl module that complements the functionality of Net::FTPServer::PWP by encapsulating directory-handling methods.
One of the best features of this module is the ability to override and support the mount point of the directory for the user. The ->new(), ->get(), ->is_root, and ->parent methods are all improved, allowing for a better user experience.
In addition, there's a handy workaround for Mac OS X 10.1.5 (darwin) users who may encounter a bug in rmdir() when attempting to delete a directory ending in a slash. With Net::FTPServer::PWP::DirHandle, the module will automatically retry the rmdir() command without the slash in case of failure.
As someone who frequently works with FTP servers and directories, I found the Net::FTPServer::PWP::DirHandle module to be an asset in my toolkit. It's intuitive to use and offers valuable improvements to some of the basic directory-handling methods. Highly recommended.
