There shouldn't be any issues combining both modules.

    I've come back to this now, and tried N:O:P. It makes it very simple, here's the core of the script:
    for my $host (@hosts) { $pssh->add_host($host, user => $user); } $pssh->push('*', 'command', { stderr_to_stdout => 1 }, $cmd ); $pssh->run;

    My next problem is that I want to decorate the return from each host, to tell them apart. Perhaps something like this:

    %) net.pl -c uptime kermit fozzy kermit) 10:49:37 up 3 days, 21:38, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.0 +1, 1.05 fozzy) 10:49:37 up 6 days, 21:08, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.0 +1, 1.05

    I'm not sure how I would extend N:O:P to do this. Probably have to go back into N:O.

    See my OP for an update, as I had a D'oh moment, and realized it was that easy.

      A pipe can be attached to the output stream:
      $pssh->push('*', 'command', { stderr_to_stdout => 1, stdout_file => ['|-', 'perl', '-ne', 'pr +int "%HOST%$_\n"'] }, $cmd );
      Or the more efficient:
      require POSIX; my %fh; for my $host (@hosts) { my $pid = open my $fh, '|-'; if (not $pid) { while (<>) { print "$host) $_"; } POSIX::_exit(0); } $fh{$host} = $fh; $pssh->add_host($host, default_stderr_fh => $fh, default_stdout_fh = +> $fh); } $pssh->push('*', 'command', $cmd ); $pssh->run; close $_ for values %fh;
      Note that lines comming from stderr and stdout may arrive intermixed. A more correct solution would be to use different filters for stderr and stdout.
