NAME¶

Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl - Net::OpenSSH adapter for Net::SSH::Perl API compatibility

SYNOPSIS¶

  use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl qw(:supplant);
  use Net::SSH::Perl;
  my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new('host');
  $ssh->login($user, $passwd);
  my ($out, $err, $rc) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);

DESCRIPTION¶

This module implements a subset of Net::SSH::Perl API on top of Net::OpenSSH. After the module is loaded as...

  use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl qw(:supplant);

... it supplants the Net::SSH::Perl module as if it were installed on the machine using Net::OpenSSH under the hood to handle SSH operations.

Setting defaults¶

The hash %Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::OpenSSH and other modules called under the hood and otherwise not accesible through the Net::SSH::Perl API. The entries currently supported are:

connection => [ %opts ]

Extra options passed to "Net::OpenSSH::new" constructor.

 

Example:

 

  $Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH::Perl::DEFAULTS{connection} =
    [ ssh_path => "/opt/SSH/bin/ssh" ];
    

BUGS AND SUPPORT¶

This is a work in progress. "register_handler" method is not supported. Net::SSH::Perl submodules (i.e. Net::SSH::Perl::Channel) are not emulated. Anyway, if your Net::SSH::Perl script fails, fill a bug report at the CPAN RT bugtracker (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat>) or just send me an e-mail with the details. Include at least:

1 - The full source of the script

2 - A description of what happens in your machine

3 - What you thing it should be happening

4 - What happens when you use the real Net::SSH::Perl

5 - The version and name of your operating system

6 - The version of the OpenSSH ssh client installed on your machine ("ssh -V")

7 - The Perl version ("perl -V")

8 - The versions of the Perl packages Net::OpenSSH, IO::Pty and this Net::OpenSSH::Compat.
