for FTP take a look at the Net::FTP module .. it should be part of the
standard distribution .. you can view the help with the perldoc utility
which is installed with Perl .. type the following at a command prompt
perldoc Net::FTP
if it's not installed then you'll find as part of the libnet bundle - here

the examples in the documentation make any examples here redundant

In New York, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law
specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and
looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of
this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a
"pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a
stroll. - http://dumblaws.com/
