Re: Unable to determine known_hosts location (-16 LIBSSH2_ERROR

G'day BernieC,

I'm not a user of Net::SSH2, but looking at its documentation and its source it would seem LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_TOFU should be a constant: try removing the quotes.

If that doesn't work, providing additional information may help others to troubleshoot your problem.

Does your code have a use VERSION? If so, what is it?
With no use VERSION or VERSION < v5.12, you should include strict and warnings; with VERSION >= v5.12 and < v5.36, you should include warnings (you automatically get strict); with VERSION >= v5.36, you automatically get strict and warnings. What does your code have?
What version of Perl relates to "back in the day"?
What was the previous version of Net::SSH2 you used? What is the current version?
Net::SSH2 is not a core module. Did you install it with your new v5.38.0?
What version of libssh2 do you have installed?

See also: "Net::SSH2: Error handling"; in particular, its reference to check_hostkey.
