I am using perl 5.8.8 on redhat 5.x. I went into direcotry perl/bin/ and execute cpan Net:SFTP,but encountered following issues. Could you help to check it?

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

  • Use Net::SFTP::Foreign instead. – salva Apr 17 '15 at 13:56
  • thanks. it seems ok. And the installation time is very short compared to Net:SFTP. what does 'Foreign' here mean? – liam xu Apr 20 '15 at 01:58
  • It means that it uses a foreign (non-perl, external) program to establish the SSH connection to the remote host, in contraposition to `Perl` as used in Net::SSH::Perl that is the base for Net::SFTP. – salva Apr 20 '15 at 08:36

If you are using Red Hat Linux then use up2date command to install most common modules:

up2date module-name

For a basic understanding look at this tutorial.

For more information look at this: How to install perl modules
