Yes, it only starts processing when the entire file is returned.  (It
waits untli the ->get is finished.)  You can't do anything but that
with the normal Net::FTP calls that you're using.  But if you look at
the pod for Net::FTP, you'll see that it discusses the "dataconn"
class.  With those, you should be able to do what you want.
