sftp; Emits a warning if the operation fails.

[okey]

Changing to net::sftp from ftp. What does this mean (in discussing
how a particular method fails)

Emits a warning if the operation fails.

Are they talking about the return status?, or is there something else
that must be captured or monitored?

Thank you

Example text: =============

$sftp->do_remove($path)

Sends a SSH_FXP_REMOVE command to remove the remote file $path.

Emits a warning if the operation fails.

Returns the status code for the operation. To turn the status code
into a text message, take a look at the fx2txt function in
Net::SFTP::Util.

A quick glance at the source code for the Net::SFT module reveals that
it uses the croak routine of the Carp module for "emitting" error
messages. While the do_remove function is not part of the Net::SFTP
package itself, the do_read module is and uses croak, so do_remove is
probably similar. The croak routine prints a message to standard error
output, like die, but gives the line of the calling program (your
program) instead of the module.
