Howdy Monk-types:

I've been working with Net::SFTP for a while now, and had good success so far. However, I hit a speed bump in moving files to a host that uses the commercial SSH package from SSH.com. I wonder if anyone could share their experience with interop issues between Net::SFTP (and the underlying Net::SSH::Perl) and the SSH.com product.

In a nutshell, I call Net::SFTP::put() and check to see if the return value is undef. The module documentation says that this method returns undef on failure and a value that evaluates as true on success.

I am getting undef every time, but when I look on the remote server I see that the file does make the trip intact. Now I'm wondering if it this is a "normal" interop issue, or if there is something truly amiss. I looked in the online documentation at the SSH.com website, but didn't find a sufficient level of detail to answer the question.

I suppose I could fall back on a put()/stat()/proceed sequence that ignores the return value from put(), but that just doesn't seem as clean.

Anyone got experience, advice or humorous anecdotes to share on this?

Thanks!
