Hi,

I have evaluated Net:SFTP and it fits my requirements - but the only issue is it does not support IPv6 (I have tried Net-SFTP-0.10 with Net-SSH-Perl-1.38). From my understanding, Net-SFTP-Foreign supports IPv6 but I do not want additional process being launched everytime (I would need to do a task repetitively) and would prefer to do it in perl - this would also eliminate Net::SFTP::Expect. If someone knows of a way to enhance Net::SFTP/SSH to support IPv6 (using a 'Glue'), please let me know. Or if there are pure perl-based implementations that support IPv6, that would also be great. Or if there is a way of making Net::SFTP use Net::OpenSSH (this supports IPv6), that would also work.

I have already gone through the following related links and I don't have an answer yet.

IPv6 Supported Perl Modules State of IPv6 package that can handle ftp, sftp, http etc ?

Thanks
