I am trying to get files from server to another server through sftp. I am using this code upto now. But if the host is not connected its die and shows  Unable to establish SFTP connection. But i need to raise an alarm (email) if its not connected through sftp. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Net::SFTP::Foreign;

my $host = 'xxx.xx.x.xxx';     #Host adress
my $password = 'teledna';      #Password for host
my $path = "/root/sanjay/";    #Path where .csv file present

#connecting to host using SFTP
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host, password => $password);

$sftp->die_on_error("Unable to establish SFTP connection");

#Changing the path to .csv directory
$sftp->setcwd($path) or die "unable to change cwd: " . $sftp->error;

#get("Name of file in remote server","Name you have to given to file")
$sftp->get("database.csv", "database.csv") or die "get failed: " . $sf
+tp->error;
