If I run the following code it does not work. It looks like its trying to act on '.', I tried adding a dir_pat=>'[a-z|A-Z|0-9]+' to no avail. Is this a bug or did I miss something? Ideas? 
$|=1;
use Net::SFTP;
use Net::SFTP::Recursive qw(:all);
use Net::SSH::Perl;

$host="somehost";
$user="user";
$password="pass";
$upfile_subdir="/tmp";
$rmt_dir="/home/swares/mgp/installfiles";

print "Setup connection to $host...";
use Net::SFTP::Recursive;
my %cfg = ( user=>"$user", password=>"$password", local_dir=>"$upfile_
+subdir", remote_dir=>"$rmt_dir", file_pat=>'.htm$', debug=>1);
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Recursive->new("$host",%cfg);
print " Done\n";
print "Get file...";
$sftp->rget("$rmt_dir","$upfile_subdir");
print " Done\n";
