Re: Net::SSH::Perl hangs(during cmd), but only in Mason environment

[mdillon]

From the docs, it doesn't look like the output goes anywhere by default. In an example from the distribution, the code has print $out after the call to cmd.

What does the code after the snippet you've provided look like?

[perldragon80]

Well, the problem is that the code hangs during the call to $session->cmd. I actually have tried die("Output is $out"); , as well as writing to the Apache logs after the cmd call, but it just doesn't get there. I tried stepping through it with Komodo, but didn't have enough time today...probably try again tomorrow. The exact same sequence and user environment works as long as Mason isn't involved, and the ssh interaction gets almost to the point where the output is returned from the cmd call...
Here is what the end of the sshd debug should look like (done with the CGI::Application test)
