I am trying to use Net::SCP on the linux to copy files from a linux machine to a Windows machine. I can do so using command line as: 
scp local_file user@windows_host:/dir

[download]
with password prompt. However the following perl script net_scp.pl doesn't work. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SCP;

my $file = 'xyz.txt';
my $destdir = '/dir';

my $host = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx';
my $user = 'user';
my $pass = 'pass';

my $scpe = Net::SCP::Expect->new(host => $host,
                                 user => $user,
                                 password => $pass)
   || die "Can not make connection to: $host\n";

$scpe->scp($file,$destdir) || die "can't scp: $!\n";

[download]
The error msg is: Problem performing scp: lost connection at ./net_scp.pl line 28. The line 28 is the last line above. But the same username and password worked fine on the command line. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
