Hi Monks,

I need to take a backup from remote linux host through a perl script from a windows machine. I am using strawberry on windows as active perl give more problem while installing the Net::SFTP module.
I am using the Net::SFTP module but throws some error message. Can some solve this issue. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SFTP;

my $SFTPSite = '#.#.#.#' ;
my $userid = '****';
my $pword =  '******';

#**  **  **  **  **  **  **  ** 
# Setup to do the SFTP
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new( $SFTPSite, $userid, $pword ) or 
                 die "Could NOT create SFTP "  ;     #Net::SFTP  const
+ructor
print "Yes\n";

My error message looks like this. 
The getpwuid function is unimplemented at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/
+Net/SSH/Perl/SSH2.pm line 39, <GEN0> line 1.
