Quick Question! Retrive info form another server. PERL

[fx00101]

Hi,

How can I retrieve a certain information from another server? Like i want to search a directory on another server for a file that starts with "NSS001" no ext. and then i want to retrieve that file information without downloading the file..? Is this possible? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! THANK YOU in advance

If the directory is web accessible you can use something like LWP::Simple to get the file. If the directory is not web accessible you can't do it unless you can login to the other server.
