I use Net::FTP to put file to an OpenVMS host.
As on OpenVMS new file is transferred by plus the version number by one
everytime instead of overwriting the old file.
I don't know whether Net::FTP has some method to force to overwrite the
file with the new transferred one.

I highly doubt it. The versioning that you're seeing is a feature of VMS,
not of the FTP daemon you're connecting to, or of Perl's Net::FTP module.
There might be some means by which the system admin can disable versioning
for a specific directory, disk, or in general - I honestly don't know. That
question would be better asked (and more likely to be answered) in a group
that discusses OpenVMS administration.

No Net::FTP doesn't, but you don't need it anyway :-)
VMS treats <file_name>;0 as the last version of the file. So doing a
$net_ftp_obj->put($file_name, "$file_name;0");
should do the trick.
This is the same for every other FTP client as well.
