in reply to FTP with no intermediate file, to upload my program output?

Yes you/perl can. Care to share your attempts to do this with us, or do you want us to do all the work for you?

    Touché. Here is what I have after checking on Net::FTP. My problem now is in going from $myfile to MYFILEHANDLE.
    Use Net::FTP;
$myfile = "Two lines\n of text";
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.myhost.com", Debug => 0);
$ftp->login('user','pass');
$ftp->cwd("/example");
$ftp->put(MYFILEHANDLE,filename.txt);
$ftp->quit;

      Pre-perl5.8: check out IO::String.

      Perl5.8+: you can still use IO::String, but you can also do this:

      open my $fh, '<', \$myfile;
$ftp->put($fh, 'filename.txt');
