Graham Barr has supplied me with a patch to Net::FTP.
This nows uses a default block size of 10240 internally for PUTs; it already
supported BlockSize for GETs.
Both Net::FTP and ftp: via LWP now work properly, as the problem is avoided.
It may still be worth trying to fix syswrite() so that it sends as nuch as
it can, but it could be tricky to ensure that only appropriate writes are
truncated. As Graham points out, if the same code is used for sending UDP
packets, then these should not be truncated; the attempt should fail.
