Net::SFTP

[Jacqui Caren]

 From a colleage

"Hi Jacqui

Have you ever tried to install Net::SFTP or NET::SSH::Perl ?   Did you 
manage to do it successfully ?

  I'm having some real problems trying to install it on lion at the 
moment and in particular the dependency Math::Pari.

Do you have any ideas for an alternative SFTP package?
"

As I have never used this package I hope one of you kind folks here
will come up with an alternative or tell me that you need to install
a missing sun package or something :-)


The system it is being installed upon is

$ uname -a
SunOS lion 5.5 Generic_103093-14 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10

The errors are
