[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Error: Wide character in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Digest/HMAC.pm line 59

[<Kr...@nX...>]

I would like to upload some of the files from a directory to another node.
i saved the target files into an array called @node2_files, opened a $sftp
connection and loop over the array content to send the files one by one.
Here is part of the codes:

------------------
use Cwd 'abs_path';
$currentpath = abs_path($ENV{'PWD'});

my %args = ("user", 'user', "password", 'passwd', "debug", '1');
my $host = 'node2';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,%args);

for ($a=0; $a < scalar(@node2_files); $a++) {
  my $localfile = $currentpath . "/". $node2_files[$a];
  #my $remotefile = 'test';
  my $remotefile = '/home/user/' . $node2_files[$a];

  $sftp->put($localfile,$remotefile);
  }

-----------
if i uncomment the line: #my $remotefile = 'test';
and comment the one right below,
it runs "fine": at least the files are uploaded correctly, and saved into
a new text file named test in /home/user/ - but of course i only get the
last file with name: test

but i really want to maintain the original file name.

So, if i use the uncommented line:
my $remotefile = '/home/user/' . $node2_files[$a];

i get:
