Try Net::FTP
Your script can ftp in and just grab the file to memory to be used instead of a file
or to a file ( it is FTP after all ;p)
Then you don't even need a daemon to send or receive it.
Just run the script, it gets it via ftp and uses it.
If you put it in memory you could always run eval {}; on it to make sure all is well
and get it into your prog.
