Hi Folks,
I'm trying to make some tests using SFTP::Foreign, but the Perl script took too much time for get a file in another server in my network.

I'm trying get a file with 1GB from another server LAN, and the Perl Script using SFTP::Foreign took around of 11 minutes and the SFTP binary in /usr/bin/sftp in only 3 minutes gets the file, the same file.
How can I reduce the time of Perl SFTP::Foreign ?
timex ./sftp.pl
real 11:52.86 user 1:33.81 sys 24.19
The SFTP::Foreign is the last release, and the binary SFTP is OpenSSH_3.8p1 over Solaris 5.9.
Thank you very much guys!! 
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
my $host = 'server';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host);
$sftp->get("remote_file", "local_file");
