The interesting parts of the error message are further up. Please show the output of the test `t/03-packet.t`. It seems troublesome. The easiest way to get the (full) test output of the failing test is the following sequence: `C:\>cpan cpan> look Net::SSH::Perl C:\...\Net-SSH-Perl> dmake C:\...\Net-SSH-Perl> perl -Ilib -w t\03-packet.t` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I tried this on my system running DWIM Perl (based on Strawberry Perl 5.14.2 32-bit) and I also hit an issue on the same test. Here's part of the messages I saw on my system: `t/03-packet.t ...... Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"HOME"} in concat +enation (. ) or string at C:\Dwimperl\cpan\build\Net-SSH-Perl-1.36-f4Rl_I\blib\li +b/Net/SSH/ Perl.pm line 111. The getpwuid function is unimplemented at C:\Dwimperl\cpan\build\Net-S +SH-Perl-1.36-f4Rl_I\blib\lib/Net/SSH/Perl/SSH1.pm line 30. # Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything +. t/03-packet.t ...... Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) Failed 10/10 subtests` [download] After checking out the link from Corion's response, the following bug report seems to deal with the $ENV{"HOME"} issue on Windows that I'm seeing. That might have some useful and relevant information for you. https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49820	[reply] [d/l]
