However, this is actually useless for mirroring so the point is moot
anyhow. Any ftp mirroring tool worth its salt should be trivially
convertable to an http mirroring tool simply by having it fetch a
pre-generated ls-lR listing over http.
And if you use lftp you actually can use mget libperl-*, it works for our
case.
