Any suggestions?

Your script will have to test/set the umask, then change the settings, accordingly. Herein lies the problem: If your FTP user is not your Apache/Web 'running as' user, you can't do it through a browser.
So, since you're using Perl, I'd look into Net::FTP, and create a form where they re-enter their FTP username, password, and all of that, and it logs in, and issues SITE CHMOD commands for them.
