A lot depends on your knowledge of Perl. Given that you have no idea
where to begin I assume you know nothing. Run out and buy Learning
Perl. Read the first few chapters and then take a look at Net::FTP*
or Net::SCP*. If you still have questions how things work then post
them with the code you are trying to make work to the list.
* http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.21/Net/FTP.pm
* http://search.cpan.org/~ivan/Net-SCP-0.07/SCP.pm
Specifically chapters 2 Scalar Data, 4 Subroutines, 6 I/O Basics, and
11 Filehandles and File Tests.
