in reply to get ssh key passphrase from agent

Net::SSH2 claims to be able to do authentication through an agent. The other modules don't seem to do that, so I'm not sure if it is possible without using Net::SSH2.

One thing I've done in such cases is to run commands through plink or ssh external binaries, but that only works for very limited use cases.

    I looked into it, and it seems to be just what I need!

    Imma just try to implement it, and I will let you know, once I definately know if it works

    Thank you a lot

      I tried to make a sample, which test everything I need from the module, but sadly I get an error, which I can't explain:

      failed connecting agent (-42 LIBSSH2_ERROR_AGENT_PROTOCOL) at .\sshtest.pl line 7.

      I think it should work, because the agent works just fine in CMD.

      I would appreciate any help!

        Can you post your example code which fails for you, so we can try to replicate your situation?
