 Hello,

I've found a file I.pm in my Lost+Found directory but where do I
copy the file to?
----------------------------------

My previous ranting about their not being a Net::FTP::I module 
were just uninformed. I looked specifically for I.pm and found it
in: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/FTP/I.pm. However, I looked at
the code and it appears to be a module that allows one to read/write
a binary data connection. Wether the module you have is the same, is
something that you probabably shoudl cofirm before just copying it
to the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/FTP directory.
