Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I was able to instal Net::SFTP::Foreign and I was able to successfully connect to the server.
The place where I am stuck is when I try to do a 'Put'. I get the following message 
put failed: the authenticity of the target host can't be established, 
+the remote host public key is probably not present on the '~/.ssh/kno
+wn_hosts' file

The reason being that there seems to be an offending key in the ssh/known_hosts file , which has to be overidden.
I tried to do the same thing from the command line and I got the following result. From the command line , I can select the option "yes" for it to continue connecting to the server , but I do not know if I can do the same thing from the STP::Foreign module
Here is my command line output 

 sftp 2000550000506913@sftp.XXX.com@upload-itms6.XXX.com

Warning: the ECDSA host key for 'upload-itms6.XXX.com' differs from th
+e key for the IP address '152.125.77.44'
Offending key for IP in /Users/punitpawar/.ssh/known_hosts:2
Matching host key in /Users/punitpawar/.ssh/known_hosts:7

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
