in reply to Capturing SSH output in an array.

Hi Salva !!!

Pity I can vote this only once. I installed your new updated module and it just works now !!!. Here is the script

#!/usr/bin/perl use Modern::Perl; use Net::SSH::Any; my $hostname = '192.168.247.128'; my $username = 'perl514'; my $password = 'redhat'; my $cmd = 'ls -l'; if (my $ssh = Net::SSH::Any->new($hostname, user => $username, passwor +d => $password)) { say " I am connected to $hostname!!!"; my @out = $ssh->capture($cmd); say "The files and directories of $username on $hostname are given + below"; say "@out"; } else { say "whee...something wrong here" }

Aand here is the output !!

I am connected to 192.168.247.128!!! The files and directories of perl514 on 192.168.247.128 are given belo +w total 16 drwxrwxr-x. 2 perl514 perl514 4096 Nov 14 14:52 perlscripts drwxrwxr-x. 2 perl514 perl514 4096 Nov 14 14:52 test1 drwxrwxr-x. 2 perl514 perl514 4096 Nov 14 14:52 test2 drwxrwxr-x. 2 perl514 perl514 4096 Nov 14 14:52 test3

You rock !!

Thing is, it took about 12 seconds for the script to ssh into the Centos VM Guest OS, but man I am glad this works !!...Is there a way to save the ssh keys and circumvate the password requirement? If the Net::SSH2 method will work (I still havent tried it) to add the ssh keys, then I'll try that out. But yeah, this works !! O yeah, by the way, I finally got rid of Windows 7 on my personal laptop....will try on that one too !! Its running Ubuntu 12.04 now, so itching to try out stuff on it :) So for work, I will be on Win 7 (And to manage the storage environment it will be Win 2003: Not my choice), but on personal laptop, its Linux all the way now.
