The synopsis shows the most important things. To start learning how to use new, capture2 and error is enough and quite straight forward.

There is a samples directory on the distribution, though, they are for advanced topics.

    Ok Thanks very much Salva

    I have it working, however I now have a new problem it seems!

    I have it working for normal commands such as ls, cd etc. But how do i read stdin to execute a local script as described above?

    The following doesn't work:

    $ssh->system("tcsh < script1.tcsh") or die "Remote command failed: ".£ +ssh->error;

    It appears to be looking for "script1.tcsh" on the remote machine which is not what i want.

    Also, how would i get more that one script to run in parallel?

    Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated!

      $ssh->system({ stdin_file => 'script1.tcsh' }, 'tcsh') or die "Remote command failed: " . $ssh->error;

      Running things in parallel is not so easy. You have the spawn method that returns a PID, then you use perl built-ins as waitpid on the PID to wait for the remote process to finish.
