You should be able to wrap the problematic method call with an "eval"
and have a look at $@ afterwards.

And according to the Net::SFTP perldoc there ist the status() method to
find out if something nasty happened after you called any of the other
methods except from new().

As far as I know, you cannot disable one specific warning - but you can
pass a sub ref as argument "warn" to the new() method in which you can
then decide what to do with the warnings you receive. See the perldoc
for more info.

Hope this helps
