Q1) This isn't a perl problem, it's a permissions problem.

This perl script lacks permission. Getting it done on the command line looks like this:

$ ssh fred@164.90.158.33
fred@fourth:/var/www/html$ cd pm_image/
fred@fourth:/var/www/html/pm_image$ mkdir larry
fred@fourth:/var/www/html/pm_image$ ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 fred fred 4096 Oct 16 18:04 ./
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct  8 00:04 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 fred fred 4096 Oct 16 18:04 larry/
fred@fourth:/var/www/html/pm_image$

fred is part of the sudo group, if it matters:

fred@fourth:~$ groups fred
fred : fred sudo
fred@fourth:~$

I thought I might find something here: Perl SFTP do_mkdir not able to create directory. Is this maybe where I need to be grubbing? Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes

I added the password back into the Config file. It gets populated by get_tiny like so:

sub get_tiny {

  use 5.011;
  use warnings;
  use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
  use Config::Tiny;
  use Data::Dumper;

  my $ini_path = qw( /home/hogan/Documents/html_template_data/6.values
+.ini  );
  say "ini path is $ini_path";

  my $sub_hash = "my_sftp";
  my $Config   = Config::Tiny->new;
  $Config = Config::Tiny->read( $ini_path, 'utf8' );
  say Dumper $Config;

  # -> is optional between brackets
  my $domain   = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'domain'};
  my $username = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'username'};
  my $password = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'password'};
  my $port     = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'port'};

  #dial up the server

  say "values are $domain $username  $port";
  my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(
    $domain,

    more     => '-v',
    user     => $username,
    port     => $port,
    password => $password
  ) or die "Can't connect: $!\n";
  return $sftp;
}

Doesn't help me out:

server dir is /var/www/html/perlmonks
parameter array is /var/www/html/perlmonks Net::SFTP::Foreign=HASH(0x5
+6550258f450) SSH slave exited unexpectedly with error code 255

Do I have to wrap something like this?

$ scp -pr /source/directory user@host:the/target/directory
