Hello Wise Monks: I come before you with a humble request

I am trying to get Net::SFTP to work under Windows XP.

This is my code: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SFTP;

my $SFTPSite = 'sftp.primebroker.com' ;
my $userid = 'fred';
my $pword =  'bedrock';

my $entry = undef;

#**  **  **  **  **  **  **  ** 
# Setup to do the SFTP
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new( $SFTPSite, user=>'fred', password=>'barney'
+, debug=>1) or 
                 die "Could NOT create SFTP "  ;     #Net::SFTP  const
+ructor


my @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";
        
}

[download]
When I run this code I get:
The getpwuid function is unimplemented at c:/progFiles/PERL/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 110.
And the program dies.

I have downloaded Putty and have no problem using Putty to logon to the site and download files. Just can not get SFTP to work within Perl.

Could a wise monk, with more experience than myself, please provide some guidenance.

Best Regards

KD
