So I have a perl script attempting to connect to an SFTP server using Net::SFTP::Foreign. I'm running Cygwin on windows XP using OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k and Net::SFTP::Foreign 1.5.1. I've also installed IO::Pty and Expect. 

print "Connecting: $staging_address - $ftp_username - $ftp_password\n"
+);
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($staging_address, user=> $ftp_usern
+ame, password => $ftp_password);
print "Connected!";

The connection prints with the correct info, but then the program hangs forever. I've turned on debugging as well (via $Net::SFTP::Foreign = -1;) but get no output.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what i am doing incorrectly?

I've validated that the login name & password are correct and that the SFTP server is accepting connections. Does anyone have any suggestions?
