Wow, I am befuddled. Here's a minimal case demonstrating the problem. The follow code runs fine

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use Net::SSH::W32Perl;
use Net::SFTP;
use Memoize;

my $host = 'xxxxxx';
my $user = 'xxxxx';
my $password = 'xxxxxx';

my $sftp =
    Net::SFTP->new(
        $host,
        user     => $user,
        password => $password,
        debug    => 0,
        protocol => 2
    );

But if I use GetOpt::Declare,

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use Net::SSH::W32Perl;
use Net::SFTP;
use Memoize;
use GetOpt::Declare;

my $host = 'xxxxxx';
my $user = 'xxxxx';
my $password = 'xxxxxx';

my $sftp =
    Net::SFTP->new(
        $host,
        user     => $user,
        password => $password,
        debug    => 0,
        protocol => 2
    );

all hell breaks loose and I get heaps of complaints

Never seen behavior like this before... how or why is GetOpt::Declare upsetting Net::SFTP?

???
