NAME

Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache - cache and reuse SSH connections transparently

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Net::OpenSSH;
use Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache;
for (1..10) {
  my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
  $ssh->system("$cmd $_");
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This module installs a $Net::OpenSSH::FACTORY hook implementing a SSH connection caching scheme.

$Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::MAX_SIZE controls the cache size. Once as many connections are allocated, the module will try to free any of them before allocating a new one.

The function clean_cache makes the module forget (and close) all the cached connections:

            

              
              
Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::clean_cache();
