Beginner needs help

| Ok so the boss wants me to create two scripts in perl and I don't even
know where to begin.
One is to copy a log file to a backup server every hour.
And the second is to restore the backup from one server from the
previous night to the backup server every morning.
Any ideas on where to start would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

A lot depends on your knowledge of Perl. Given that you have no idea
where to begin I assume you know nothing. Run out and buy Learning
Perl. Read the first few chapters and then take a look at Net::FTP*
or Net::SCP*. If you still have questions how things work then post
them with the code you are trying to make work to the list.

To be honest, this really sounds like the jobs for a cronjob and a shell
script, at most. Are you sure that you even need Perl for this?
Hope this helps,
Ricky

Specifically chapters 2 Scalar Data, 4 Subroutines, 6 I/O Basics, and
