monk2b has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I can not seem to get this script to retrieve any files any help would be greatly appreciated
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict use Net::SFTP; my $host = "somehost"; my $password = "somepasswd"; my $user = "someuser"; my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,"user" => $user,"password" => $passwor +d); $sftp->get("/var/log/httpd/access_log");

When I do this
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict use Net::SFTP; my $host = "somehost"; my $password = "somepasswd"; my $user = "someuser"; my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,"user" => $user,"password" => $passwor +d); print $sftp->get("/var/log/httpd/access_log"); <<<---|||

I do get the file at stdout. What am I doing wrong

    According to the Net::SFTP documentation:

    $local is optional. If not provided, the contents of the remote file $remote will be either discarded, if get is called in void context, or returned from get if called in a non-void context. Presumably, in the former case, you will use the callback function \&callback to "do something" with the contents of $remote.

    Your first example calls it in void context without providing a $local, thus nothing useful happens.
      Wow how easy was that. Thanks nardo
