ssh and scp and sftp are designed to prevent you from doing what you're trying to do, because keeping passwords in scripts is an extremely bad idea. "interactive password authentication" means "password
typed by a human being in realtime authentication", and no substitutes for humans are acceptable to ssh.
The proper way to login
noninteractively is to arrange
ssh keys in advance.

net::sftp::foreign::compat
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm)
NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat - Adaptor for Net::SFTP compatibility
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($host);
$sftp->get("foo", "bar");
$sftp->put("bar", "baz");
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat ':supplant';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host);
DESCRIPTION
This package is a wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign that provides an API (mostly) compatible with that of Net::SFTP.
Methods on this package are identical to those in Net::SFTP except that Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes::Compat objects have to be used
instead of Net::SFTP::Attributes.
If the ":supplant" tag is used, this module installs also wrappers on the "Net::SFTP" and Net::SFTP::Attributes packages so no other parts
of the program have to modified in order to move from Net::SFTP to Net::SFTP::Foreign.
Setting defaults
The hash %Net::SFTP::Foreign::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::SFTP::Foreign methods called under the hood and otherwise
not accesible through the Net::SFTP API.
The entries currently supported are:
new => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor.
get => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::get method.
put => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::put method.
ls => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::ls method.
