Re^4: SFTP Foreign Issues using $sftp->ls

And the glob method returns the same style reference to an array of hashes

No. glob returns a list.

The OP was incorrectly dereferencing the data structure

No. He is already using the names_only feature that makes the method return just the file names instead of hashes.

No. glob returns a list. From the documentation for Net::SFTP::Foreign:glob $sftp->glob($pattern, %opts) performs a remote glob and returns the list of matching entries in the same format as the "find" method. From the documentation for Net::SFTP::Foreign:find $sftp->find($path, %opts) $sftp->find(\@paths, %opts) Does a recursive search over the given directory $path (or directories @path) and returns a list of the entries found or the total number of them on scalar context. Every entry is a reference to a hash with two keys: filename, the full path of the entry; and a, a Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes object containing file atime, mtime, permissions and size. salva wrote: No. He is already using the names_only feature that makes the method return just the file names instead of hashes. Good point.	[reply]

Does a recursive search over the given directory $path (or directories @path) and returns a list* of the entries found* By default `ls` returns an array of hashes, `glob` and `find` return a list of hashes. When `names_only` is set, `ls` returns an array of strings and `glob` and `find` return a list of strings.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
