I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

protocol error
I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm just missing something (I guess the latter). When trying to connect to 4 different ssh servers, I see the following:

Test command:
[luser@nihal]$ perl -MNet::SSH::Perl -e '$ssh = new Net::SSH::Perl("10.0.0.1", \ debug => "1", protocol => "2", port => "4400", identity => "/home/luser/.ssh/id_rsa"); \ ($out, $err, $rv) = $ssh->cmd("echo foo"); print "out is $out\nerr is $err\nrv is $rv\n";'


output:
nihal: Reading configuration data /home/luser/.ssh/config nihal: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config nihal: Connecting to 10.0.0.1, port 4400. nihal: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 nihal: Net::SSH::Perl Version 1.33, protocol version 2.0. nihal: No compat match: OpenSSH_4.3. nihal: Connection established. nihal: channel 0: new [client-session] nihal: Requesting channel_open for channel 0. nihal: Entering interactive session. out is err is rv is


Logged on the ssh server:
Oct 29 20:12:18 mirzam sshd[32611]: Disconnecting: protocol error: rcvd type 90


The log message is generated on centos openssh 4.3, but not on gentoo openssh 4.7 (no relevant logs at all even at DEBUG3 there).

Any ideas are appreciated.

Re: protocol error
Yup, my bad if anyone comes across the post. I simply didn't call login() before cmd() - I incorrectly assumed from the docs that it was automatically called on cmd() if needed. I got that from reading the section regarding SSH1 forcing connection and disconnection on each cmd(). Woops.
