If you really do mean FTP-SSL/TLS (aka ftps), I don't think there's anything pre-existing on CPAN that will be of help, but you could probably subclass Net::FTP (alt.) to do what you need with the aid of Crypt::SSLeay (alt.) or Net::SSLeay (alt.).

If that's beyond your current skill set, you might want to try BSDftpd-ssl (which has an ftps client) or lftp.
