no.

only IO::Socket comes close.

I suggested that peter include Net::Ftp and use that.

It's not the issue of "binary" so much as it is "arch specific".
ascii "arch specific" data is not allowed in "ARCH=all" either.


As a side note:
At the top level of every mirror is  "wget.sparc" and "wget.i386".
it is fairly easy to either use perl-ftp, or /bin/ftp, to grab them
automatically, if needed.
