Simply add the 'sisyphusion' repo to your ppm repositories. (The actual repo is at www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm though if you have a sufficiently recent version of 5.12, it should just be a matter of running ppm repo add sisyphusion )

Then run:

ppm install Net-SFTP-Foreign-Backend-Net_SSH2
[download]

and that should install that module, along with its dependencies (Net::SFTP::Foreign and Net::SSH2). Then it's just a matter of:

use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->
             new(host => $server,
                 backend => 'Net_SSH2',
                 user => $user,
                 password => $pass);
[download]

(See the Net::SFTP::Foreign docs for further details.)

You can, if you prefer, just ppm install Net-SSH2, but the task of coding is much simplified if you use the Net-SSH2 backend with Net-SFTP-Foreign. (That's what I've been using, and I've found it to be excellent.)

Please let me (or the repo owner) know if there's any problems with any of that.

Cheers,
Rob
