in thread SSH and qx

Net::OpenSSH is a pure Perl module. You just have to copy everything in the lib directory from the module distribution into some directory in the machine and add that directory into @INC to get it working.

The only possible issue would be that the available ssh could be too old. If that is the case, you can also try Net::SSH::Any, that will happily work with older versions of ssh using the Ssh_Cmd backend.

Net::SSH::Any is also a pure Perl module that you can install in the same way, just copying the contents of its lib directory.

    Wonderful! That worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

    Now I have these even older boxes where perl -v returns 5.004_04 ... :-p

    Thanks,
