Ah, now it becomes clear. According to the Net::FTP docs the put
method accepts a file or a filehandle as the LOCAL_FILE argument. You
can create a filehandle out of a scalar like this (in Perl 5.8 and
later*):
open my $fh, "<", \$scalar
or die "could not create a filehandle for the data [$scalar]: $!";
Since the filehandle will not have a name you will need to use the
optional REMOTE_FILE argument:
$ftp->put($fh, $filename);
* There is another method for earlier versions of Perl, but it does
not come readily to mind. I believe you needed IO::String to do it
and there were problems with versions of Perl less than 5.6.
