G'day misterperl,

my $ftph;
eval {
 $ftph = Net::SFTP::Foreign( "$user\@$host", more=>'-v', autodie=>0 );
};
[download]

That appears to have a number of problems:

• You've omitted the new() method.
• Your argument, "$user\@$host", doesn't agree with the documentation.
• The eval is superfluous.

After reading Net::SFTP::Foreign, I'm pretty sure you want something more like this:

my $ftph = Net::SFTP::Foreign::->new($host, user => $user, ...);
[download]

Alternatively, you could collect arguments into a hash, perhaps based on user options, and then supply that hash as the sole argument to new(). Something like this:

my %args = (host => $host, user => $user);
push @{$args{more}}, '-v' if $opt_verbose;
$args{autodie} = $opt_autodie;
my $ftph = Net::SFTP::Foreign::->new(%args);
[download]

If you're wondering why I appended :: to Net::SFTP::Foreign, read "perlobj: Invoking Class Methods".
