This is my first post so bare with me. I am trying to use Net::SSH::Perl to run commands on remote machines. It does work, but only with some commands.

For example: if I try to run "ping -c 3 perlmonks.org" it will work fine, but if i try "pure-ftpd -B" I get an error "425 Sorry, invalid address".

Net::SSH::Perl has a function to put the ssh session into interactive mode, if I run "pure-ftpd -B" from there it works.

I am open to other suggestions on running a command on a remote machine, this is just the way I thought of doing it. Here is my code, I know it works in linux with perl v5.6.1.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $cmd  = "ping -c 3 perlmonks.org";
my $ssh  = Net::SSH::Perl->new("192.168.1.1");

$ssh->login("user", "pass");
my($a, $b, $c) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);
print "$a\n$b\n$c\n";

My question is what can i do to make this work, why is this not working, and is there a better way to do this. Thanks for any help.
