Net::FTP supports a "ls" method, which is just a wrapper for "nlst". It would be nice if Net::FTPSSL also supported this method to make migration between Net::FTP and Net::FTPSSL easier. Thanks!

I have no real objection to implementing the "ls" command as an alias to "nlst". Just be aware that my module handles calls to nlst() in scalar mode differently than Net::FTPSSL does. In scalar mode my functions return the number of elements in the array instead of a reference to an array just like "$cnt=@lst;" does. Which to be backwards compatible I can't change at this point. If you're still interested in having a "ls" command implemented with this difference let me know & I'll implement the ls/dir aliases in my module in my next release.

Yes, I am still interested in these aliases. Thanks!

OK, Version 0.42 had just been uploaded to CPAN. It should be available in the next couple of hours. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
