It depends: Which kind of authentication are you going to use? Can you set up public key authentication? Is a C compiler available? A recent one?	[reply]

Maybe look for "ssh" in http://cp5.6.1an.barnyard.co.uk/ / CP5.6.1AN: the Comprehensive Perl 5.6.1 Archive Network http://cp5.6.1an.barnyard.co.uk/modules/02packages.details.txt	[reply]

Did you try? https://metacpan.org/search?q=ssh Then you'd have to check individually the testers matrix against perl5.6.1, but the http://cp5.6.1an.barnyard.co.uk/ does that	[reply]
