I guess you are creating the Net::FTP object before the fork ?
which means after the fork both parent and child have the object
and connection. This is an issue.
As a workaround you could try close($ftp) in the process
that does not want/need the ftp object.

I have a project which uses Net::FTP to allow ftp
through a cgi. I want to fork off my session handler
for individual downloads so people can still browse
and even download more than one file at a time but
forking really seems to screw with my FTP handle. I
don't mind making a second FTP handle
