with regard to Jonas' question, the POD says unter "COMMAND METHODS":
Net::SFTP supports all of the commands listed in the SFTP version 3
protocol specification. Each command is available for execution as a
separate method, with a few exceptions: SSH_FXP_INIT,
SSH_FXP_VERSION, and SSH_FXP_READDIR.
Jonathan, have you looked at Net::SFTP::Foreign, which is already
packaged in Debian, and can you comment why that's not an option for
you? It has a compatibility module for Net::SFTP and it leaves all the
cryptographic and more generally security related tasks to the system's
ssh command. There's a discussion of Net::SFTP::Foreign Vs. Net::SFTP
Vs. Net::SSH2::SFTP in the POD.
