Ok, I'm going to assume that you have something like: 
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( ... ) or die $!;

And you don't feel like dying, you just want to say 'Hey, this thang ain't workin'.

Well, here's one solution: 

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( ... );
if ( defined $ftp ) {
  $ftp->func1( ... );
  $ftp->func2( ... );
  $ftp->quit;
} else {
  warn "Hey, this thang ain't workin!  $!\n";
}

or, another way to do it might be to create a SIG handler... although I'm not fond of it personally: 
$SIG{__DIE__} = sub { warn shift and exit };

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( ... ) or die $!;

That's kinda gracefull, but it will quit your process... another solution could be: 
sub ftp_stuff {
  my $ftp_ref = shift;
  $ftp_ref->func( ... );
  $ftp_ref->quit;
}
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new ? ftp_stuff $ftp : warn $!;

I hope I've helped you out.

Enjoy!
