That's an unusual use of the word "slurping", but I get what you say from the
subject line.

I can recommend these tools:

1. rsync - http://rsync.samba.org/ ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync ; My
favourite rsync configuration is:

rsync -a --progress -v --inplace

But you may wish to add --delete-after to it.

2. lftp is a useful FTP/SFTP client that can upload entire trees and is
open-source: http://lftp.yar.ru/ .

You can implement something similar to LFTP in Perl, but it will take some
work, and rsync is generally better.

Regards,

VIM has commands... I didn't know it also had a scripting language, or
is that one and the same?

It would be cool to hear about that.

I thought the commands were :w, set ? etc., and the scripting language is stuff like this from the bowels of NERDTree:

function! NERDTreeExecFile()
    let treenode = g:NERDTreeFileNode.GetSelected()
    echo "==========================================================\n"
    echo "Complete the command to execute (add arguments etc):\n"
    let cmd = treenode.path.str({'escape': 1})
    let cmd = input(':!', cmd . ' ')

    if cmd != ''
        exec ':!' . cmd
    else
        echo "Aborted"
    endif
endfunction

I love NERDTree..  that and perl-support.vim + !perltidy have made my
