Re: call to Net::SSH2 functions crashes caller object

If you get a SEGV error that means that there is some bug on Net::SSH2, or in some other XS module or in perl.

Try to write a minimal test script that still triggers the error and then send it as a bug report to Net::SSH2 maintainer. He is quite fast fixing bugs on Net::SSH2!

Otherwise, as it seems you are running your script in some kind of Unix/Linux system, you may like to switch to Net::OpenSSH.

Hi, Thanks for reply, my 1st question, is there really a need to make that lexical variable %Event (defined in Net::SSH2.pm global ?	[reply]

Trying to fix something you don't understand by randomly changing related things is not going to be very productive. Try to find where and why the variable gets corrupted and then write a proper patch, or just do as I toll you on my previous post and send a bug report to the author. Anyway, I find hard to imagine a bug causing a SEGV error that could be fixed by just changing a package variable from lexical to global. Is your program using threads?	[reply]
