You are right, installing Net::SSH2 on ActiveState Perl on Windows is pretty difficult. A document explaining how to do it exists on the distribution but to be honest, I wasn't able to successfully follow it myself.

:) Well step 1 is wrong :D for all perls you want http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ its the better compiler

Also, the latest strawberryperl comes bundled with libssh2 and all the prereqs including the compiler, also the module, and the better compiler ...

So if you want to install it into ActivePerl, install strawberryperlportable, so you get all the prerequisites pre compile..... then use the activeperl...perl.exe to run Makefile.PL and compile the thing specifically for activeperl .... copy some .dlls and you're done

Actually that just more of the same busywork, http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Net-SSH2.ppd has already gone through all those steps and provided binaries

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


There's more than one way to do things
