    It should work. You can use either Net::FTP or Win32::Internet. Run it with the debug option if you are having problem 
    $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Timeout=>30, Debug=>1)
             or die "Can't connect: $@\n"

    The Net library isn't installed by default in ActivePerl. Run the ppm.bat file in \perl\bin and type "install libnet".
