Re: [perl #40961] Listing.pm when used for dosftp

As Jonathan said, File::Listing does not belong to the perl core and
is part of the libwww-perl distribution (whose maintainer is Gisle
Aas). So it it is not supported here. I have copied your report to the
[email protected] mailing list (as instructed in the README file of the
distribution) and the corresponding RT queue on this email.
