I made the changes as you suggested, the new code follows:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SFTP;

my $SFTPSite = 'sftp.xxxxbroker' ;
my $userid = 'fred';
my $pword =  'bedrock';

my $entry = undef;

#**  **  **  **  **  **  **  ** 
# Setup to do the SFTP
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new( $SFTPSite, $userid, $pword ) or 
                 die "Could NOT create SFTP "  ;     #Net::SFTP  const
+ructor


my @entries = $sftp->ls('/');       # slurp all entries into an array
  
foreach  $entry (@entries) {  
    print  "$entry    \n";
    chomp $entry;
    my @fields = split /\s+/, $entry;
    print "the file name: " .  $fields[-1] . "\n";
        
}

the following error message resulted from the above code.

C:\dev\FTPPerl>perl testSFTP.pl The getpwuid function is unimplemented at c:/progFiles/PERL/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 110.

I belive that I an missing something to support Net::SFTP. Maybe I have an old version of Net:SSH But do not know how to figure that out.
As per the ActiveState Perl Package Manager I have the following SSH stuff installed:
Net-SSH 0.08
Net-SSH-Perl 1.30
Net-SSH-W32-Perl .05

thanks for your assistance.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
