Using Net::FTP to get a file I almost know the name of

[laredotornado]

Hello, I am using Net::FTP and I was wondering how I can retrieve a
file if I know three things

1. The extension (e.g. ".txt")
2. The directory in which the file will appear
3. There will be at most one file in that directory with the given
extension.

How would i go about figuring out the full path to that file so that I
can use the Net::FTP->get command?

Thanks, - Dave

You read the documentation of the module you're using. Take special
note of the ->ls and ->dir methods. Use pattern matching to recognize
the file you want.
