I'm writing a perl script to send file with FTP.
To determine the responses from the FTPD, I need to read 
from STDOUT.  I can do this  by redirecting STDOUT
to a file then read from the file. But this way I have
problem to synchronize the two processes. I have to put
"sleep(2)" everywhere.  Any better solutions?   Thanks.
