In the general case, this is a bad idea. After a box has been running for a while and modules are upgraded, Perl is upgraded, you'll wind up with many copies of the file. Do this, and you risk the chance of looking at one file, but Perl looks at another.

Checking on one of my older hosts, running locate Net/FTP.pm returns 13 files. Ask perl to tell you which module is used, as per the other replies in this thread.
