IO::All::FTP(3pm)

💖 IO::All::FTP 💖

okay bestie, so you know that page IO::All::FTP(3pm)? the one from the User Contributed Perl Documentation era? yeah. that one. it's giving "tiny module, big vibes" and honestly we're obsessed.

---

✨ NAME ✨

IO::All::FTP — it extends IO::All to FTP URLs 🦋 like that's literally its whole thing and it eats every time.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

no notes, just look at her:

use IO::All;

"hello world\n" > io('ftp://localhost/test/x');  # save to FTP
io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz');      # GET to file

# two ways of getting a file with a password:
$content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz');
$content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret');

two whole ways to do the password thing?? periodt. pick whichever one is your main character today 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this module extends IO::All so it can handle FTP URLs. and here's the tea, bestie: you do NOT have to use it explicitly. it gets autoloaded by IO::All any time IO::All sees something that looks like an FTP URL. it just shows up. no invite needed. iconic behavior fr fr ✨

---

👑 METHODS 👑

this is a subclass of IO::All::LWP, okay? and the only new method is "ftp".

• you can use "ftp" to create a blank IO::All::FTP object 🫶
• or it can also take an FTP URL as a parameter
• and ngl, in most cases it's simpler to just call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method automatically for you 😌

lowkey convenient, highkey slay.

---

💅 OPERATOR OVERLOADING 💅

same operators from IO::All, bestie — nothing new to memorize:

• < GETs an FTP URL
• > PUTs to an FTP URL

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🌈
