in reply to Unable to connect to some SFTP servers using Perl::SFTP

The bus error indicates that probably Net::SFTP, Net::SSH::Perl or some of their dependencies are not thread safe. The only way to solve that kind of problem reliably is, unfortunately, to find the broken module and to fix it.

      If you only need to run your script on Linux/Unix systems, then, consider using processes (via fork) instead of threads.

        I enabled forks as follows by using system call to create a new terminal to run each ftp/sftp connection in a seperate perl script. It's able to execute but I am having issues when my parameters(@fields) contain bracket. I am not able to pass parameters which contains bracket. 
        unless (fork())
{
         system("xterm -T $fields[0] -e \.\/uploader\.pl $index @field
+s"); 
    exit(0);
}

        After executing the window closes automaticaly. Is there a way to make it halt until the user press a key to exit or so. I tried to have a  <> at the end of the uploader script. But doesn't help
