Unfortunately I forgot to mention a crucial point about the function I am trying to code for.
The source Windows server from which the files have to be copied is external to our organisation - the server belongs to a third party. The server is open for SFTP transfers on a specified port only, so any solution requiring an SSH connection is not going to work - unless the third party changes their architecture which is unlikely.
My reading of this is that any solution that requires an SSH connection (including NET::SFTP::Foreign and other ActiveState modules which explicitly call an ssh executable to establish a connection) is not going to fly.
The module Net:FTPSSL would appear to be a solution but it is not on ActiveState and attempts to download and install it manually from CPAN have failed.
So I am still open to any alternative solutions, or words of advice from anyone who has managed to successfully install Net::FTPSSL.
Regards,
@shley

Hmmm ... not a very good adaptation - it actually uses scp, and $sftp is
used only once.
See how you get on with it.
Cheers,
