Here's a sample script that downloads the CPAN README using ftp via curl: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Curl;
use WWW::Curl::Easy;

{
    my $curl = WWW::Curl::Easy->new();
    my $fh   = 'README';
    if( $curl ){
        $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_HEADER,1);
        $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, 
        'ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/README');
        my $response_body;
        
        open(my $fh, '>', \$response_body);
        $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, $fh);
        $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_VERBOSE,1);
        my $retcode = $curl->perform();

        if ($retcode != 0) {
            warn "An error happened: ", $curl->strerror($retcode), " (
+$retcode)\n";
            warn "errbuf: ", $curl->errbuf;
        }
        $curl->curl_easy_cleanup; 
    } else {
        warn " WWW::Curl::Easy->new() failed";
    }
}

exit 0;
