Mirroring a file to another server

[David Pheat]

How would you mirror a file from one server to another server,
and how would you get around all the security etc. Is there a
program out there (free hopefully) that will do this?

What do these things do?

my $REMOTE="http://www.cpan.org/";

my $LOCAL="/Users/merlyn/MIRROR/MINICPAN/";

close($server);

I have a virtual host, I don't think anything like this would help,
it needs to be a perl script(s). One problem I have is the cgi-bin
directory on the server will not allow me to read a .txt file, or I
could just copy the file(s) from what I call the root directory to the
cgi-bin, then call this text file with the script on the other server
and copy that to the root directory on the other server, then
delete these temp files.
