Bummer: Net::FTP's "rmdir recurse" is junk.

What are the subroutine rules on calling myself? 
sub RmdirAndLoop ( $ ) {
   my $Target  = $_[0];   # directory to remove
   
   # print "Target = <$Target>\n";
   print "Pruning <$Target>.  This may take a while...\n";
   if ( $ftp->rmdir ( "$Target", 1 ) ) {
       print "  $Target deleted successfully\n";
       
   } else {
      for my $Target2 ( @ { $ftp->ls ( "$Target/*" ) } ) {
         RmdirAndLoop ( $Target2 );   #  < ---- This is line 266
      }
   }
   print "\n";   
}

Error: main::RmdirAndLoop() called too early to check prototype at Matt.RotatorForCobianBackup.FTP.pl line 266 (#1)

Many thanks,
