Problem with "put" in Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat

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

I've been trying to transfer 3 files from a local host to a remote host. I am able to successfully connect to the remote host. However, when I try to use "put", I encounter an error.
Here's a snippet of my code.

my %args = (
    user => "uname",
    password => "pword"
    );
    
    my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($rhost, %args);
    $sftp->die_on_error("Unable to establish connection");
    
    
    for(@files) {
        my $filename = basename($_);
        my $remotefile = $rdir . $filename;
        $sftp->put($_, $remotefile);
                
    }

This is what's in Common.pm line 79-81

if ($sftp->{_error} != Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants::SFTP_ERR_CONNECT
+ION_BROKEN()) {
            $sftp->{_error} = 0;
        }

This is a harmless warning you can safely ignore. It is caused by a (harmless) bug on the module that I have just fixed in version 1.76_02. In any case, `die_on_error` is not on Net::SFTP API. If you are using Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat you should stick to that. Though, If you are writing your module from scratch, just use the much friendly Net::SFTP::Foreign module.	[reply] [d/l]

I get this error that is a warning, the kind of error that doesn't end your program -- is it important? Probably not This is what's in Common.pm line 79-81 It doesn't matter. It appears you turned on warnings globally and you shouldn't do that. don't turn on warnings for code you did not write esp if the code does `no warnings 'uninitialized';`	[reply] [d/l]
