Hello,

May I offer a suggestion to rename this module to Net::FTP? Here is my reasoning for the suggestion:

  • FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, so lowercasing part of that abbreviation is unusual
  • Other languages spell it as all-caps: Perl 5 and Ruby have Net::FTP and Python has FTP

These combined factors would likely result in users of your module accidentally spelling the name as Net::FTP instead of Net::Ftp and getting errors in the code, installation, or documentation look up. For example, if the search feature on modules.perl6.org was not case-insensitive, your module might not end up being found because most users would type FTP and not Ftp.

My two cents 😸

Cheers,
ZZ
