I am running perl 5.10.0 build 1004 on windows XP. I have ssh2 version .18 installed.

I'm having a problem with reading a file from the Net::SSH2::Dir node. It works fine if I open a directory with less than ~60 files. But it will hang if I have over 60 files on the "$dir->read" directory object. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Any workarounds?

Here is the code I'm using:
use Net::SSH2;

my $host = 'ftp.???.com';
my $user = 'user';
my $password = 'password';

$ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();

print "\nconnecting to $host...\n";
$ssh2->connect($host);

print "\nauth to $host...\n";
$ssh2->auth_password($user,$password);

print "\ngetting sftp hdl...\n";
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp();

print "\nopening dir...\n";
my $dir = $sftp->opendir("test/out");

print "\nreading...\n";
while(my $item = $dir->read) 
{
    my $file = $item->{'name'};
    my $mode = $item->{'mode'};
    print "file = $file\n";
}

Thanks for any help!
