Currently, there are several SSH client modules available from CPAN, but no one can be used on all the situations.

Net::SSH::Any is an adapter module offering an unified API with a plugin architecture that allows to use the other modules as backends.

It will work in the same way across most operating systems and installations as far as any of the supported backend modules is also installed.

The currently supported backend modules are Net::OpenSSH and Net::SSH2 and I plan to write a backend module on top of the ssh binary and maybe another one for Net::SSH::Perl.

The API is mostly a subset of the one from Net::OpenSSH, though there are some minor deviations in some methods.
