Net::FTP::Path::Iter Net::FTP::Path::Iter is a subclass of Path::Iterator::Rule which iterates over an FTP site rather than a local filesystem. See the documentation Path::Iterator::Rule for how to filter and traverse paths. When Net::FTP::Path::Iter passes a path to a callback or returns one from an iterator, it will be in the form of a Net::FTP::Path::Iter::Entry object. Net::FTP::Path::Iter uses Net::FTP to connect to the FTP site. Symbolic Links At present, Net::FTP::Path::Iter does not handle symbolic links. It will output an error and skip them.
