Hello Kind and Wise Monks:

I have some scripts working which download files off a FTP site. Given that these scripts are working the site is being upgraded to SFTP. Happy Happy.

I am attempting to use Net::SFTP to do these simple down loads. I can retieve he files using Filezilla, so I know I have the correct logon info.

Please take a look at the following code 
use Net::SFTP;

$SFTPSite = 'sftp.xxxxbroker' ;
$userid = 'fred';
$pword =  'bedrock';

#**  **  **  **  **  **  **  ** 
# Setup to do the SFTP
$sftp = Net::SFTP->new( $SFTPSite, $userid, $pword ) or 
                 die "Could NOT create SFTP "  ;     #Net::SFTP  const
+ructor


@entries = $sftp->ls('/');       # slurp all entries into an array
  
foreach  $entry (@entries) {  
    print  "$entry    \n";
    chomp $entry;
    my @fields = split /\s+/, $entry;
    print "the file name: " .  $fields[-1] . "\n";
        
}

When run, this code produces the following error:
Name "main::pword" used only once: possible typo at testSFTP.pl line 9
+.
Name "main::userid" used only once: possible typo at testSFTP.pl line 
+8.
The getpwuid function is unimplemented at c:/progFiles/PERL/site/lib/N
+et/SSH/Per
l.pm line 110.

The last message is the one I do not know what to do with.
I am using Active Perl 5.8.8 and I downloaded the Net::SFTP package from TheoryX5 Win32 PPM packages. I am running under windows 2000

many thanks for your help
