Your code is not valid Perl code. Your snippet does not even run in your shell. See perlrun.

Also, double quotes will be interpolated by Perl first. So your shell snippet won't look like you want. Do the following to see what goes wrong:

my $snippet = "perl -e /.firstboot | echo $?"; print "Running <$snippet>\n"; my $stat = $ssh->exec("perl -e /.firstboot | echo $?");

Also, why do you want to launch Perl on the remote end, when the unix shells have test to test for the existence of a file?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • 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.
