in reply to opening a port
The principles of getting this setup and working are well outside the scope of PM I suggest you try and find a more appropriate forum. Perl is a programming language you are looking for an application. Take a look at the usenet for more info.
If I have completely missjudged the question and you really are looking for a perl solution then take a look at Net::FTpServer
