This module implements a Perl interface to ssh. It is a simple wrapper around
the system `ssh' command. For a perl implementation that does not require
the system B<ssh> command, see L<Net::SSH::Perl> instead. For a wrapper
version that allows you to use passwords, see L<Net::SSH::Expect> instead.
For another non-forking version that uses the libssh2 library, see
L<Net::SSH2>. For a way to execute remote Perl code over an ssh connection
see L<IPC::PerlSSH>.
To install:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test # nothing substantial yet
make install
Documentation will then be available via `man Net:SSH' or `perldoc Net::SSH'
Anonymous CVS access is available:
$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cleanwhisker.420.am:/home/cvs/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@pouncequick.cleanwhisker.420.am)
CVS password: anonymous
$ cvs checkout Net-SSH
Assitance wanted - this module could really use a maintainer with enough time
to at least review and apply more patches. Or the module should just be
deprecated in favor of Net::SSH::Expect or made into an ::Any style
compatibility wrapper that uses whatver implementation is avaialble
(Net::SSH2, Net::SSH::Perl or shelling out like the modules does now). Please
email if you are interested in helping.
