in thread sftp connection through perl

Aha, I see what is happening! You are using a custom transport!!!

Probably, your script is quite old, from the days when Net::SFTP::Foreign didn't support password authentication directly and Expect was used to establish the connection and log into the server.

Nowadays, you can pass the user and password to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor and let it handle everything for you.
