If you still looking for hints on this module usage: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#usage: ./demo1.pl myftphost.com -u xx

use strict;

use Net::SFTP;
use Getopt::Long;

my %opts;
my $user;

GetOptions(\%opts,  "v", 'u=s'=>\$user);

my($host) = @ARGV;
die "usage: demo1 [options] hostname" unless $host;

# set up the arguments based on the command line options
my %args = (ssh_args => []);
$args{debug} = 1 if $opts{v};
push @{ $args{ssh_args} }, user => $user ;

# make our connection

print "Connecting to $host...\n";

my $sftp;

#Stype0
#
#$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host);
#$sftp->login($user, $pass);
#OR #without PWD and using ssh key
#$sftp->login($user);

#Style1
#
#$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);

#Style2
$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,
