To send things interactively, you need to wait for the response from the server to make sure that server is ready. Otherwise your command will be send before server is ready and may got ignored. Try the following code. 

#Send files back to Server A
my $sftp = $ssh->exec("sftp username\@remote host");
my $pass = $ssh->exec("password");

$ssh->waitfor('ftp>', 2); # Wait 2 seconds to get 'ftp>' prompt. Check
+ your server's prompt for correct expression. 

my $mput = $ssh->send("mput *.tar");

The "waitfor" can take any regular expression and wait for a response matching the expression. For more details check at Net::SSH::Expect

There are three sides to any argument.....
your side, my side and the right side.
