Re^2: To use Shell method on Active Perl

itpal has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am a Perl script beginner. I am new to NET::Ssh library. I had a issue that the scp_put(localpath, remotepath) would add single quotes around the file name and extra garbage characters at the end of file name. Any idea how to fix this? For example: scp_put("/home/test/test.txt", "test.txt") would send a file with a file name 'test.txt'.........A

Can you please show us a small, self-contained program that exhibits the problem so we can reproduce it? It should look something like the following: `#!perl -w use strict; use Net::SSH2; my $local = '/home/test/test.txt'; my $remote = 'test.txt'; scp_put($local, $remote );` [download] (but that example doesn't write anything other than to a file named 'test.txt' for me). Did you maybe read the remote name from a file and did not clean up the line properly?	[reply] [d/l]

Please provide an actual example of what you are doing. A simple fix would probably be to avoid hard-coded values in your `scp-put()` arguments, but to store the values in variables prior to the `scp-put()` call and pass these variables as arguments..	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Net::SSH doesn't provide a `scp_put` method or sub.	[reply] [d/l]
