    Net::FTP doesn't support chmod... but you can use quot
    from the Net::FTP POD: 
    quot (CMD [,ARGS])
           Send a command, that Net::FTP does not directly
           support, to the remote server and wait for a response.

    Update:Also check FTP manpages compared to the RFC 959

    You have to do this through the ftp server command, it got the same name as the perl function jeroenes mentioned namely "chmod".
    You can't to this before uploading or remote through perl unless you use Net::FTP or something similar

    Of course if you got the script running on the remote server there's no problem using chmod after uploading the file.

    Oh..btw, 777 is buhu, use 755 at least if possible.
