I know the answer must be right in front of me, but I just don't see it... I wrote a script that looks for files and then sends them to a remote SFTP server:
<code> #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::SFTP; use Logit; # this is a homegrown function that takes a filename and a line # of text to write to the file. my $debug = 1; my $server = "usmlrh03"; my %sftp_args = ( user => 'my_user', password => 'my_passwd', debug => $debug); # Check for the presence of datafiles my @datafiles = <foo.*>; if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) { logit('mylog.log', "No datafiles found"); die "No datafiles"; }; my $sftp = Net::SFTP -> new($server, %sftp_args) or do { logit('mylog.log', "Can't connect to $server via SFTP"); die "Can't connect to $server via SFTP"; }; my $rc; for (@datafiles) { logit('mylog.log', "Putting file: $_"); $rc = $sftp -> put($_); logit('mylog.log', "Put to $server via SFTP: rc=$rc"); } exit; #logit('mylog.log', "@datafiles: sent successfully"); #unlink $dotdone or logit('mylog.log', "Unable to delete $dotdone"); #unlink @datafiles or logit('mylog.log', "Unable to delete @datafiles"); </code> When I run this I get: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/SFTP.pm line 215. usmlrh04: sftp: Sent SSH2_FXP_OPEN I:0 P: Couldn't get handle: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/SFTP.pm line 166. usmlrh04: sftp: Sent message SSH2_FXP_WRITE I:1 O:0 Couldn't write to remote file: Failure at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/SFTP.pm line 261. usmlrh04: sftp: Sent message T:4 I:2 Couldn't close file: Failure at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/SFTP.pm line 201. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at ./my_sftp.pl line 37. But there definitely is a file in the current directory called foo.csv. I tried specifying the full path, ie, /home/user/foo.csv, but I got the same results! BTW I don't think this should matter, but this is running between two (old) RH linux boxes. If anyone can shed any light on this it would be much appreciated!
