I ran your testcase in and out of the debugger and you're correct- I have the same result.

In my case there must be something else going on, because I get this: 

  DB<6> l
281==>b    closedir DIR;
282:       $ftph->quit();
283
284:       open STDERR, ">&OLD_STDERR";
285
286:       $result->{status} = 0;
287:       return $result;

and when I press n 2 times... 
  DB<6> n
genericFTP::ftpFiles(/var/www/cgi-bin/orderform/genericFTP.pm:282):
282:       $ftph->quit();
DB<6> n
Debugged program terminated.  Use q to quit or R to restart,
  use o inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination,
  h q, h R or h o to get additional info.
