Re: Net::OpenSSH in a mod_perl handler

[salva]

Could you try using /dev/null as the default STDIN?

open my $stdin_fh, '<', '/dev/null' or die "unable to open /dev/null";

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new(SSH_HOST,
                            default_stdin_fh => $stdin_fh,
                            ...
                            );
...

mod_perl is probably tie'ing STDIN to something that does not have a real file handle behind.

update: besides that, it seems that there are some issue with capture not capturing anything... I am investigating it!

This got me one step further: [Wed Mar 24 18:16:06 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] child process STDOUT is not a real system file handle at /tmp/lib/test/openssh.pm line 40\n

After setting the default_stdout_fh option using the same schema the $ssh->system command works, at least with mod_perl 2. $ssh->capture still does not work; there is no error, but also nothing is captured.

The issue was related to STDIN and STDOUT not being attached to file descriptors 0 and 1 respectively under mod_perl.

Can you try version 0.46_01 that I have just uploaded to CPAN?

Excellent! This fixes the problem, at least with mod_perl 1 (mod_perl 2 not tested).
