Re^2: SSH connection with module

I got most of that but I have no idea what you mean by "you will need to modify login_auth() to accept a parameter, preferably named $self." Don't I have to use this because I have to pass the variables:

$cisco->login_auth(@ARGV);

I get that sub new is returning an object into the main script but I don't get how I then pass it back to the module and use it then pass it back? Am I even understanding that right?

Yes - you are asking the right questions - so you are close to "getting it". When you invoke `$cisco->login_auth( $whatever );` [download] you are actually passing TWO parameters into login_auth - which you can retrieve using: `sub login_auth{ my ($self, $whatever) = @_; # Now $self contains whatever sub new() put into it. # and $self can be updated to include more useful things. }` [download] Instead of passing @ARGV, you should pass it as a reference : \@ARGV. This will allow passing additional parameters if necessary. OK - next question ?... What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against? -Larry Wall, 1992	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No more questions...for now :) That explained it and I've been playing with passing $exp back and forth. I think I'm figuring it out. Thanks!	[reply]
