in reply to a perl program to create two way connection with the server

A SSH connection already is a two-way connection, and it is possible for the server to execute commands on the client - all that needs to be done is the client needs to read the commands from the server and execute them. But maybe you're looking for SSH tunneling (I believe Net::OpenSSH supports this)? It's unclear to me what exactly you want to do, perhaps you could explain or give examples?

    say for example i want to reboot the server, is it possible with net::open::ssh

      So is this thread about "two-way connections" or is it a repeat of your last two threads reboot a system (machine or server) multiple times with perl script?

      Anyway, yes, it is possible, given that the user you are connecting to the server with has the permissions to do so (via sudo or directly). A quick, untested copy & paste from the Net::OpenSSH docs, which you should read:

      use Net::OpenSSH;
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
$ssh->error
  and die "Couldn't establish SSH connection: ".$ssh->error;
$ssh->system("sudo reboot")
  or die "remote command failed: ".$ssh->error;

      How is that related to bidirectionality?
