it helps if you actually ASK a question. you explain your goal, show
some code but say nothing about what isn't working or what errors you
get or ask a question.

from the Net::FTP docs:

ls ( [ DIR ] )

    Get a directory listing of DIR, or the current directory.

    In an array context, returns a list of lines returned from the
    server. In a scalar context, returns a reference to a list.

you call ls in a void context. did you expect the output to magically be
stored somewhere? try assigning the result of the call and then printing
or using that.
