Good morning ralph2014, let me tell you something: Nowadays I am the main maintainer for Net::SSH2. I had put a lot of effort into improving that module and before I arrived there, several others had done the same. Also, there are a quite large number of developers, system administrators, etc., that find that particular module useful and that even employ it to run critical processes at their companies. So, just because you, somebody who has admitted to be inexperienced, have been unable to get it working on the first attempt, I don't think it is fair to call it "shit". This is open source, if something doesn't work the way you expect, you can try to improve it. Otherwise, just move on. But in any case, be considerate and respectful to the people that has provided that software for free to you, please!	[reply]

For MS Windows, if you install Strawberry Perl, it will automatically also install Net::SSH2 for you. I tried the example in the synopsis. Worked fine for me on Windows 7 Pro.	[reply]

hi unfortunately I cant change the install of the current version of active perl on the server, (windows 2003) im stunned this is so much hassle, its more difficult to install these modules than writing a program!! perl is also supposed to be cross platform, many of the modules wont run in windows, thats not cross platform! the modules that install are using PPM	[reply]

Many Perl modules require 3rd party libraries that are not written in Perl. This is also true of other languages like Python. These modules require special handling. (Of course, any pure Perl module will not require special handling.) Because SSH/SSH2 is such an important tool, I would expect Activestate to have at least one SSH module in its PPM archive. Have you searched Activestate's PPM archive ? Activestate does provide some advice on installing modules not already available in PPM packages (PPM is Activestate's proprietary packaging system): http://www.activestate.com/blog/2010/10/how-install-cpan-modules-activeperl Just FYI, Strawberry Perl took a different approach to installing modules: It includes all the tools needed to build any CPAN module, plus most other modules.
