Hey all,  
I’m having trouble with Net::FTP’s dir command. I’m looking to get a  
list of all the directories, but instead I get a list of every file  
IN every directory, and the permissions and timestamps as well. Is  
there any way to fix this? What method SHOULD I use to get a list of  
all of the directories?

Thanks,
