Just want to mention that for perl IO::Socket (used in Net::FTP) to work
correctly
with the dynamic perl port by Charles Wilson on Windows 95, you need
to upgrade to winsock 2.0. Otherwise you run into SIGSEG in
getservbyname.

Currently the upgrade (W95ws2setup.exe) can be downloaded at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp?
