ok I got this to work by doing the following thing and by not using openSSH module

## Connecting to SFTP server
print "\n Connecting to SFTP Server \n";

my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(host => $url,
                                    user => $userName,
                                  password => $password,
                                  more => [-o => 'StrictHostKeyCheckin
+g no']
    );
$sftp->die_on_error("unable to connect to remote host");
