Net::SFTP in perl

vetrivel has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

 
use Net::SFTP ;
$host    = "Hostname" ;
%args = (
              "user" , "vetri" ,
                    "password" , "vetri" ,
                    "debug" , "true"
            ) ;



            my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host , %args);
            $sftp->put("2", "8");

I got below error while running this above program in perl 5.6.1

Out of your 16 writeups, 14 are related to Net::SFTP, I suspect that you may be using an old version of OS which has old version of perl with old version of modules, and you are just trying to install a new version of CPAN module and just wanted that module to do your work successfully like a magic, it can't, please try to upgrade your OS/Perl/Modules first, otherwise you will be getting all these compatibility problems all the times.

It looks like either a bad installation of Net::SFTP or an incompatibility between Net::SFTP and your version of Perl. Perl 5.6.1 is really rather old. Is there a reason why you don't upgrade to something that was release less than eight years ago? -- See the Copyright notice on my home node. Perl training courses	[reply]
