Connect remote shell to local machine STDIN

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

Hello, Is there any method in Net::OpenSSH through which we can opens up an interactive shell on the remote machine and connects it to our STDIN ???? Just like Net::SSH::Perl's $ssh->shell() method.

Just don't pass any command to Net::OpenSSH methods and it will run the shell. You may also like to request a tty on the remote side using `tty => 1`. For instance, running the shell attached to the local stdio: `$ssh->system;` [download] Attaching it to a socket: `my $socket = $ssh->open2socket` [download] Or to a pseudo tty: `my $pty = $ssh->open2pty` [download] Another way to do it is to explicitly specify the shell command you want to run: `my $socket = $ssh->open2socket('/usr/sh', '-i');` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
