It is my understanding that debian doesn't use rpm (it's only for Red Hat/Fedora and their ilk). See the note here http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/rpm and here
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/distribute-deb/distribute-deb.html
I'm sure there is a .deb package for vsftp so this is what I'd do if I were you ...
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
system("apt-get install vsftp"); # Note I don't actually know if this
+is the correct syntax for apt-get as I usually use the evil RHEL
Personally I don't understand why you want perl to do the install for you. Could you provide some more info on what you're trying to do? It would be alot easier just to type the command on the CLI.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
