Hello,

I am writing a perl code to do FTP on a remote server using Net::SFTP.
For authentication, I have an identity file. But I am not clear as to how to connect through identity file. My code is: 

my %args =(ssh_args => { user     =>'XXXX',
           identity_files  => [ '/home/myhome/zzz.private' ],
                               }
);

my $targetserver='file.yyy.net';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($targetserver, %args) or die "could not open
+ connection to $targetserver\n";

When I run this code, I get an error:- 
"Not an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SFTP.pm 
+line 36."

[download]
Please can anyone help me how to get rid of this error???

Thanks in advance!!!
