I think the criticism is accurate, but I definitely do a lot of little glue programs that aren't interesting in terms of Perl, but are incredibly useful pragmatically. So, while programs like this aren't that interesting on a Perl-centric site like PM, pragmatic programs are good tools to build. I really enjoy it when someone in my lab asks me how to do something and I say "Aha! I have a script for that. Let me show you."

Here's one more small criticism: most people make ssh all caps or all lowercase.

Another thing you might do with your script is verify that permissions are correctly set on the .ssh directory and the authorized_keys file. Maybe add a usage message. Toss it into the Code Catacombs. Or even better, poke around there. I'm sure you're not the first person to do this. It's interesting to see how other people code programs to do the same thing, in terms of style, documentation and cool tricks. Reading the code of others critically is a great way to learn, and is one reason that I love PM.

Cheers and good luck with your programming.

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.
