The following is a list of known ftpmail sites. Please attempt to use the site closest to you with the ftp archive closest to it. Many of these sites already have perl on them. For information on how to use one of these sites, send email containing the word ``help'' to the address.
United States: Massachusetts: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com New Jersey: bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu North Carolina: ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu Europe/UK: Germany: ftpmail@ftp.uni-stuttgart.de bitftp@vx.gmd.de UK: ftpmail@doc.ic.ac.uk Australia: ftpmail@cs.uow.edu.auHenk P Penning* suggests that if you are in Europe you should try the following (if you are in Germany or the UK, you should probably use one of the servers listed above):
Email: Send a message to 'mail-server@cs.ruu.nl' containing: begin path your_email_address send help send PERL/perl5.0/INDEX end The path-line may be omitted if your message contains a normal From:-line. You will receive a help-file and an index of the directory that contains the Perl stuff.
If all else fails, mail to Larry usually suffices.
