    Well... I'm hoping you mean a Perl module that implements an FTP server. If not, you're on the wrong website.

    The simple way to do this is to search for a module that implements an FTP server on CPAN, like Net::FTPServer, and try installing it with ppm to see if it's in ActiveState's repository... which it is.

    This took me less than a minute to find out...

    Net::TFTPd passes all tests according to 5.8 activestate ppm build status...so should be installable using ppm.
    the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H
      FTP and TFTP are very different protocols!
