BernieC has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need an SSH package for windows and I seem to be trapped. Net::OpenSSH and Net::SSH both require an installed ssh client, which I don't have. Net::SSH::Perl looks perfect. But:

I tried a notest install, but it seems that that didn't work either. Is there a windows win7 SSH client for perl or is there some workaround for the installation problems with Net::SSH::Perl? Thanks! /b\
