I decided to give net::sftp a try again. I'm getting a little farther, but still not quite there. It seems to hang whenever I try to connect so a site. This is the code: ************************* 
use Net::SFTP;

my %args = ( user => 'ME', 
             debug => '1',
         password => 'PASS' );

   my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new('localhost', %args);

   print "Connected.....\n";
   exit(0);
} 
else 
{
    warn "auth failed.\n";
}

It hangs, this is the response I get.
