[MacPerl-Modules] Net::FTP/Cmd quot()

[the hafler trio <h3o@veda.is>]

hello.

I have a script which must log in to a number of systems and perform
various tasks according to the result of the following attempt at
identifying those systems. the relevant part is:


		$serverDetails = $ftp->quot(SYST);
		print "$serverDetails\n";

however, this returns, as pointed out in the docs, that this return only
the first "significant digit". I have looked through rfc959, which in turn
points me to rfc943. in neither of these documents can I find a table or
any other indication as to what number signifies which system. running the
script so that it connects to a Linux box returns (in string form) "215
UNIX Type: L8", of which, naturally, the first significant digit is "2". I
realise that this method is currently experimental within Net::FTP,
*but*....

has anyone

a) any idea if there exists a list with the different system types and
their numbers?
b) any idea how to modify the module so that it will return the entire string?

TIA
