No need to go overboard with Perl, use the shell:)

make a short shell script in /tmp:

   # cat <<EOF >/tmp/getit
   echo 'uuencode path-to-ppp.deb | uudecode -o /tmp/ppp.deb'
   EOF

In minicom do C-A Z O, to get the configure menu.
select Filenames and Paths, enter, D and fill in /bin/sh
then to run the script do C-A G C and fill in /tmp/getit, enter, enter

and your done:)
