- Summary: perl manpage in ps is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.ruu.nl
-
- ________________________________________________________________________
- We, Computer Science department, Utrecht University, are running an
- anonymous FTP server on one of our systems. In addition to the FTP
- service we're also running a mail server, for those of you without
- direct Internet access.
-
-
- --> How to get 'perl manpage in ps' via anonymous FTP:
-
- Site: ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17]
- Login: "anonymous" or "ftp"
- Password: your own email address (you@your_domain)
- file:
- /pub/PERL/perl.man.ps.Z
-
-
- --> How to get 'perl manpage in ps' via e-mail from our mail-server:
-
- NOTE: In the following I have assumed that your mail address is
- "fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu"; of course you must substitute
- your own address for this.
-
- | Please use a VALID DOMAIN ADDRESS.
- | Use 'hip!hop!user' if you must.
- | Never use an address which has both '!' and '@' in it.
- | Bitnetters use user@host.bitnet
-
-
- Send the following message to
- mail-server@cs.ruu.nl
- or the old-fashioned path alternative
- uunet!mcsun!sun4nl!ruuinf!mail-server
-
-
- begin
- path fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu (SUBSTITUTE _YOUR_ ADDRESS)
- send PERL/perl.man.ps.Z
- end
-
-
- The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
- message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
- first issue the request:
-
- send HELP
-
-
- A complete "ls-lR" listing of the archive is kept in the top-level
- directory, it will be updated every night. To get it, issue the command:
-
- send ls-lR.Z
-
-
-
- That's all for now. If you encounter problems using the FTP service
- and/or the mail-server, feel free to drop me a line (by e-mail, please).
