This will read the list of files into an array:

@listing = $sftp=>ls('/tmp');

You can output that with normal print statements.

16 @listing=$sftp=>ls('/tmp');

Undefined subroutine &main::ls called at ./sftp.pl line 16.

Oh, sorry, that was a typo...

@listing = $sftp->ls('/tmp');

that prints out the HASH value

HASH(0xfa4cbc) HASH(0xfa4d58) HASH(0xfa4da0) HASH(0xfa4e48) HASH(0xfa4ef0) HASH(0xfa4f98) HASH(0xfa5040) HASH(0xfa50e8) HASH(0xfa5190) HASH(0xfa5238) HASH(0xfa52e0) HASH(0xfa5388) HASH(0xfa5430) HASH(0xfa54d8) HASH(0xfa5580) HASH(0xfd4f6c) HASH(0xfd5014) HASH(0xfd50bc) HASH(0xfd5164) HASH(0xfd520c) HASH(0xfd52b4) HASH(0xfd535c) HASH(0xfd5404) HASH(0xfd54ac) HASH(0xfd5554) HASH(0xfd55fc) HASH(0xfd56a4) HASH(0xfd574c) HASH(0xfd57f4) HASH(0xfd589c) HASH(0xfd5944) HASH(0xfd59ec) HASH(0xfd5a94) HASH(0xfd5b3c) HASH(0xfd5be4) HASH(0xfd5c8c) HASH(0xfd5d34) HASH(0xfd5ddc) HASH(0xfd5e84) HASH(0xfd9930) HASH(0xfd99d8) HASH(0xfd9a80) HASH(0xfd9b28) HASH(0xfd9bd0) HASH(0xfd9c78) HASH(0xfd9d20) HASH(0xfd9dc8) HASH(0xfd9e70) HASH(0xfd9f18)

Then it has changed... try %listing instead of @listing

@listing = $sftp->ls('/tmp');
while ( my ($key, $value) = each(%listing) ) {
print "$key => $value\n";
}
