SYNOPSIS

  use Rex::Inline;
  use Rex::Inline::Test;

  my $rex_inline = Rex::Inline->new(
    use_debug => 0
    # now you can set default authentication
    user => $user,              # optional
    password => $password,      # optional
    public_key => $public_key,  # optional
    private_key => $private_key,# optional
  );

  # add default authentication 
  # if you didn't provide authentication in your task, Rex::Inline will use this as default one
  # or if your authentication is failed, Rex::Inline will use this retry the ssh connection
  $rex_inline->add_auth({
    user => $user,
    password => $password,
    sudo => TRUE,
  });
  $rex_inline->add_auth({
    user => $user,
    public_key => $public_key,
    private_key => $private_key,
  });

  # data reference like this
  $rex_inline->add_task(
    {
      name => 'something_uniq_string',  # name is required when add data_reference task
      func => sub {                     # func is required when add data_reference task
        ...
      },
      user => $user,

      # if need password
      password => $password,
      # optional
      public_key => $public_key,
      private_key => $private_key,
    }
  );

  # or Rex::Inline::Test is based on Rex::Inline::Base module
  # See Rex::Inline::Base Documents
