cpan module to execute multiple commands

user786 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Net::ssh::expect allows us to login to a remote router and run commands.

Is there way to run these commands in a single line. I mean is there a way to execute the three commands listed below with one single variable $cmd instead of using $cmd1, $cmd2, $cmd3 for ls, configure and exit respectively.

my $cmd1 = $ssh->exec("ls");
my $cmd2 = $ssh->exec("configure");
my $cmd3  = $ssh->exec("exit");

For remote login we do the following:

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new (host => "ip addr",
                                 password=> 'pwd',
                                 user => 'username',
                                 raw_pty => 1);

similarly is there a way to execute commands?

There are many different ways to achieve what you desire, some better than others. Have you tried this simple trick? `my $return = $ssh->exec( 'ls; configure; exit' );` [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
