Hi,

Someone wrote a perl script which manipulate a file and sent to number of
remote system.
I ported that exact script to my local machine but I don't see anything
going out.
Peeking into the script, I see no special module being used and no
ftp/sftp/scp or anything like that being used.

Does perl have the ability to transfer file?
I guess I need to understand networking in general when it comes to
programming(i have no idea).

Any idea or pointer would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.(cannot cp and paste work script here since it's company's policy)

Does it use IO::Socket?
