Re: local creation still triggers "requires explicit package name" error

The creation is OK, but it happens inside the eval block (it is lexically local). Therefore, $sftp is not accessible from outside the block.

I figured that was it. But I used the Eval approach to allow me some measure of monitoring and control. The script will be in production and automated though our Scheduling system. Is there a way to create a dummy or placeholder version of $sftp at the very beginning and then replace it by the actions in the Eval block?	[reply]

Just declare it (with `my $sftp;`) before your eval and remove the my from inside the eval.	[reply] [d/l]
