I have little experience with CPAN, and none with the creation of "real"
Perl modules (I have never needed more than a couple functions includes
as /usr/share/lib/foo-lib.pl or so).

A recently created cronjob of a hosting customer synchronizes a flat
directory with ~300 files to a rather picky FTP server.

When using the 100ms interval, the upload dies after about 25 files.

I then went straight to a full second (1000 ms), and all ~300 files got
uploaded smoothly.

In this case, nightly cronjob with rather stable number of files
changing rather seldomly, there's no rush and I will just leave it at
1000 ms.

Well, prior to this recent occurence I never required any pause.

And this one server is weird for other reasons too, I think the admins
there are two levels more paranoid than I am.

Will do.

I'll try ;-)

Either setting the project homepage or using a index.pl or index.html
triggering a Redirect should be possible.

OK.
