Well, you should probably use many eval blocks then - one for each
method call.
Checking if something went wrong is usually mandatory, but I agree that
dying instead of reporting errors is a bit harsh.

None that I know of. But I'm not an expert for that module.

No. However, that only means: "I don't know one" and not "there is
none".

I'm afraid that I won't be of any help with these problems. The only
other suggestion I could make would be that you could give Net::SSH2
(which comes with SFTP support by itself) a try. 

Good luck ;-)
