So i've got a script using Net::SFTP::Foreign that is working on Cygwin and Solaris (with 1.53) but is not working on AIX (tried 1.53 and 1.54_01).
It does not seem to work properly when attempting to use password authentication. I've installed the latest Expect and IO::TTY.
The script is as below:
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(host => 'myserver', user=> 'testuse
+r', password => 'password');
$sftp->error() and die "Unable to connect to SFTP host -  Error: " . $
+sftp->error();

Output (with 1.54_01) as follows: 

Unable to connect to SFTP host -  Error: Password interchange did not 
+complete: -1 at ./module_test.pl line 56.

I know the password to be correct as i can manually log into the sftp server with the same credentials.
Full output with more=>-v is as below:

I don't know if this points anyone in the right direction but the error i was seeing with 1.53 was different it was -

Any help would be MUCH appreciated
