Have you tried using Net::SFTP::Foreign instead? It doesn't have any dependency other than the OpenSSH binary client (or the commercial one), which should be already available on your systems!

The only drawback (or feature?) is that it doesn't support automatic password authentication, you have to use pairs of public and private keys or enter the pasword on the console.

I am currently rewriting it, improving its performance (it's already much faster than Net::SFTP) and adding several new high level methods as find, glob, rget and rput (recursive versions of get and put). Development versions are already available from CPAN, though they will not be installed automatically by the CPAN module. Feedback about those is very welcome!!!
