Different modules, different APIs.

Retrospectively, having ls return an array reference, was probably a bad idea, bad it is too late to change it now.

    What do you suggest to achieve the same results?
      I suggest realizing that it returns a reference to an array of hashrefs. If you don't know what that is, read the docs that I've already linked to. You must deference the result to achieve the result you desire. There are even examples within this thread of posts somewhere. Example:
      my $result = $sftp->ls(...); foreach my $f (@$result) { ... }
