Re: Net::SSH::Perl doesn't like long commands

Have you tried to issue the command in an interactive shell? Will it also work for 20000 and fail for 50000?
What is the exact number that makes it fail? Try around 32768 which is the only power of two in the range of 20000 to 50000.

Issuing the command in an interactive shell works fine. The script fails when length($cmd) is > 23117.	[reply]

With $host as "localhost", the script works (but fails sshing to an identical machine).	[reply]
