Re: Communication between Windows and Linux via Perl

Hi,

You can try DWIM Perl. It comes with the Net::SSH2 Module pre installed. I have used it to login to a lot of Linux Boxes and Linux Based Storage Arrays and it works like a charm. Do a google search for DWIM Perl.

For Net::SSH2, please read A little demo for Net::SSH2. Its really good. One thing that will help you is, insert a sleep interval - sleep 10 in your script right after you do a chan2->exec('somecommand');.

use Learning::Perl;
use Beginning::Perl::Ovid;
print "Awesome Books";

One thing that will help you is, insert a sleep interval - `sleep 10` in your script right after you do a `chan2->exec('somecommand');` That is not required when the module is used correctly.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi Salva, Thank you for pointing that out. I have been using the module as shown in a tutorial posted here, but not sure where I am going wrong. I will be thankful if you could provide any pointers on how to use it correctly.

Well, the truth it is a little tricky: First, you should loop until the `eof` method from Net::SSH2::Channel returns true. In order to not have a busy loop, you can use `sock` (that returns the socket used for the SSH connection) and `block_directions` (which tells one if Net::SSH2 needs to write or read from that socket) combined with `select` to wait for some activity on the SSH socket. Or you can just use Net::SSH::Any that will do all of that for you (or you can also look at its source code for inspiration).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
