The very first line of code is 

   use IO::Socket;

which looks like an imported module to me.  Of course you *can* do
socket programming in Perl without using modules.  The point is that
you would have to be deranged (or be working in a very, very restrictive
environment) to want to.

Also, Net::FTP has been part of core perl since 5.8.0 at least.
