I encountered a few problems when I ran the script. autodie => 1 kept showing up as an invalid option, so I just used autodie. Also, I had to use chdir before I could get setcwd with an absolute path to work. Another odd thing was that it didn't work at all without a timeout. I'm sure that salva would know more about that. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
use autodie qw( :all );
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;

my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(
    'sftp.foo.com',
    password  => 'foo_foo',
    more      => '-v',
    timeout   => 0,
    autoflush => 1, 
    autodisconnect => 2,
);
chdir('/root/Desktop');
$sftp->setcwd('/root/Desktop');
print
  "===================\n",
  getcwd(), "\n",
  "Done!\n",
  "===================\n";
undef $sftp;
