You mean you want me to write your script?

I gave three examples at that article. In comments people gave other examples. I think that's enough, but maybe not for you.

I'll tell you what: I'm heading out to the gym for a few hours. When I get back, if no one else has been bored enough to do your work for you, I'll lay you out a skeleton of what you need to do.

(My wife says we aren't leaving for 15 minutes)

After logging in etc., you are going to want to do something like

Code:
@files=$ftp->ls;
foreach (@files) {
   myfile=$_;
   next if not /.csv$/;
   $remotesize=$ftp->size($myfile);
   $ftp->get($myfile,$myfile);
   $localssize=(stat ($file))[7];

# compare, whatever
}


That's quick off the top of my head; could have mistyped anything - good luck!

tpage

TPAGE(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						 TPAGE(1p)

NAME

       Template::Tools::tpage - Process templates from command line

USAGE

	   tpage [ --define var=value ] file(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The tpage script is a simple wrapper around the Template Toolkit processor.  Files specified by name on the command line are processed in
       turn by the template processor and the resulting output is sent to STDOUT and can be redirected accordingly.  e.g.

	   tpage myfile > myfile.out
	   tpage header myfile footer > myfile.html

       If no file names are specified on the command line then tpage will read STDIN for input.

       The "--define" option can be used to set the values of template variables.  e.g.

	   tpage --define author="Andy Wardley" skeleton.pm > MyModule.pm

       See Template for general information about the Perl Template Toolkit and the template language and features.
