I have been requested to recycle an older program, written before I arrived, which is used to send information to a business client's ftp setup. As far as I can tell, the actual transaction is in a segment of code which calls and uses the LWP::UserAgent class. I do not know Perl as yet, and would like to find out as much as I can about the class and how to use it, preferably before I attempt to redesign the program, which is now supposed to be handling a new set of files.

I have found some stuff regarding LWP::UserAgent while searching the 'net, but at the moment, what I've come up with is mostly definitions for it. Does anyone know of a "beginner's guide" or something similar to help someone unfamiliar with the class walk through using it? And if such a guide does exist, would someone please post a link to it?

Thank you for your consideration.
