Re: Issue with Net::Appliance::Session

ThePerlNoob:

I'd suggest temporarily changing the password to one having no special characters to test it. That will show you whether the content of the password has something to do with it (in which case you need to figure out how to escape the special characters) or if there's a logic error in the code. (I don't use the module, so I wouldn't notice anything not painfully obvious.)

Thank you for the reply.

I was not able to remove the complexity at the time due to the kit being in production however I have built another device up to test with. That is now running a simple password and it still doesn't work. It's like the password isn't being sent. I will keep looking.

ThePerlNoob:

Ok, if you've eliminated the password, I'd try turning on the logging for the session, and turn up the detail to see if there are any clues in that. I'm guessing that there may be a problem establishing an SSH connection. Another option would be to try a telnet connection to see if there's a difference.

You may also want to show some of the output of the program, and add some traces to your code so you can tell which lines are having the problem. (Since you don't specify, I expect it's the connect call.)
