Active perl comes with Win32::Internet which has a ftp client. You can also use ppm to get libnet which has net::ftp. To do the file copy I would suggest the builtin module File::Copy.

An example of Win32::Internet:

use Win32::Internet;

my $host = 'localhost';
my $user_name = 'user';
my $pass = 'password';
my $file = 'somefile';

my $inet = new Win32::Internet ();
$inet->FTP($FTP, $host, $user_name, $pass) || die $!;
$FTP->Put ($file) || die $!;
[download]

An example of Net::FTP:

use Net::FTP;

my $host = 'localhost';
my $user_name = 'user';
my $pass = 'password';
my $file = 'somefile';

my $FTP = Net::FTP->new($host) or die $!;
$FTP->login($user_name,$pass) || die $!;
$FTP->put($file) || die $!;
[download]

And an example of File::Copy:

use File::Copy;

my $source_file = 'somefile';
my $dest_file = 'somefile';

copy ($source_file, $dest_file) || die $!;
[download]
