Net::FTP
If you're already executing a perl script, why not make the perl script use the FTP module and that way control the flow of execution through the FTP upload? Calling a bash script doesn't make it too easy to capture errors.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::FTP;

# you can set these before calling the script,
# $ SRCDIR=/var/tmp TARBALL=mytar.tar perl upload.pl
my $srcdir = $ENV{'SRCDIR'};
my $tarball = $ENV{'TARBALL'};

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( "ftp.span.net", Debug => 0 );
$ftp->login( "user", "pass" ) || die( "couldn't login: ", $ftp->message );
$ftp->put( "${srcdir}/${tarball}" || die( "couldn't put: ", $ftp->message );
$ftp->quit;

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
