Instead of using Perl::Expect which causes the script to grow in scripting I have used NET::SCP:EXPECT for transfering data. When running my perl script uses this package I'm running into an unexpected issue after transferring the data. The part is that I'm trying to up/down load files to/from Cisco routers and switches. A normal ssh access looks like this:

myserver ~ >ssh user@1.2.3.4
TACACS+ Password:
Router#exit
Connection to 1.2.3.4 closed by remote host.
Connection to 1.2.3.4 closed.
myserver ~ >
[download]

The transfer of my files however are successful but after the completion of the transfer getting: "at /prod/perl5/5.22/modules/lib/perl5/Expect.pm line 760.closed by remote host." and then the script dies. I suspect of the 1st or 2nd line prompted back "Connection to 1.2.3.4 closed (by remote host)." from the router or session is causing this issue.

Is there a way round this?

sub anoc2server {
### Start the SCP
    my ($user, $passwd, $dstserver, $srcpathfile, $dstpathfile) = @_;
        my $scp = Net::SCP::Expect->new(host=>$dstserver, user=>$user,
+ password=>$passwd);
        {$scp->scp($srcpathfile,$dstpathfile);}}
}
[download]

srcpathfile and dstpathfile are the full directory paths including the filename.
