Re: Net::SFTP::Foreign error

[Perlbotics]

... as haukex said or hack your way around it:

... warn( "Put failed: @{[$sftp->error]} \n"  ) ...

Update to response below:

The @{ ... } dereferences an array-ref. By default, the resulting string is a space separated (see $" in perlvar) concatenation of the array elements. However, $sftp->error() returns a scalar (string). Here, the square brackets come into play. They generate an anonymous array - with one single element - that finally is dereferenced and interpolated.

It's somewhat equivalent to: warn( "Put failed: " . join($", @{ [ $sftp->error() ] }) . " \n" );

Ok thanks

@{[$sftp->error]}

worked I was trying with @{$sftp->error} Can you explain what the brackets are doing exactly?

@{[$sftp->error]}

... what the brackets are doing ...

See the "Baby cart" idiom in perlsecret.

Update:

@{[$sftp->error]}

Note also that as  $sftp->error (I assume; haven't checked) returns a scalar, not a list,
    ${ \$sftp->error }
would have worked as well in a string interpolation.

Frankly, why would you like to use the baby cart when you can use the shorter and easier to understand crab operator? ".."

As in...

$a = "some ".$foo->bar." text";
