I've not used any of those modules, but the error messages you listed indicate that the SSH system needs a user ID/password and can't get it. Since the Net::SFTP::Foreign module's new method accepts the user ID and password, perhaps it would work if you pass your credentials in at that time. If you'd rather not use the password authentication method, maybe you can configure it to *not* try to use it, as that's where it's failing for you.
