It's Saturday night and I'm feeling bored :)

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Temp 'tempfile';
use Net::FTP;

use constant HOSTNAME => 'ftp.example.com';
use constant USERNAME => 'grinder';
use constant PASSWORD => 'seekret';

my $msg = <STDIN>;
my ($out, $file) = tempfile('msg_XXXXXXXX', SUFFIX => '.txt');
print $out $msg or die "Cannot print to $file: $!\n";
close $out or die "Cannot close $file: $!\n";

my $host = Net::FTP->new(HOSTNAME)
    or die "Cannot connect to ", HOSTNAME, ": $!\n";

$host->login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
    or die "login error: ", $host->message, $/;

$host->put($file)
    or die "cannot put $file: ", $host->message, $/;

$host->quit;
unlink $file;

I haven't actually tested this, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Have fun!
