Bad name. That should be Net::FTP::Lite.
I don't really like the ::Lite part though.
I would suggest something with TLS in the name but you said that
it's a testbed for new FTP features, so that wouldn't be its sole
focus.
Something like ::More might be better suited to convey what the
module is supposed to do (ie support more FTP extensions than
Net::FTP at the cost of reliability).
Then put a mention in the POD that this module is awaiting
obsoletion by Net::FTP when it gains TLS support, that people
should patch Net::FTP instead of this module, and work with
Graham to get Net::FTP where you want it. If nothing else,
putting the code out there might inspire someone else to port the
features to Net::FTP in your stead.
