Re: using scp package and options

My completely biased advise is that you should go with Net::OpenSSH instead:

use Net::OpenSSH;
$ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($server, port => $port, batch_mode => 1,
                         user => $user, key_path => $identity_file,
                         master_opts => ['-C', '-oStrictHostKeyCheckin
+g=no']);
$ssh->scp_put($local_file, $remote_file) or die "scp_put failed: ".$ss
+h->error;

Thank you for your answer. If you would mind helping me again please, I would appreciate your answers to some extra questions. But before, yes I did read the documentation under CPAN.org . It has to be "($server," instead of "(host => $server," ? I only want to be sure in this. Is it right, that the batchmode option is automatically set? Is it so that the protocol to set to 2 is not necessary? Doesnt $ssh have to closed like $ssh->quit or that way? Thanks in advance, Have a nice day, Thomas	[reply]

1: Both ways are valid: `$s1 = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, ...); $s2 = Net::OpenSSH->new(host => $host, ...);` [download] 2: No, by default Net::OpenSSH let's `ssh` ask you questions. If you want batch mode you have to state it: `$s = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, batch_mode => 1, ...)` [download] 3: Yes because Net::OpenSSH only works with version 2 of the protocol. SSH v1 is not supported. 4: The connection is closed automatically when the object goes out of scope. You can close it explicitly if you want: `$s->disconnect;` [download] update: `disconnect` method is only available in the latest development versions. Also, if you need to connect using SSH v1, my other module Net::SSH::Any does support it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
