in thread How do you use Net::OpenSSH to query mysql database via ssh tunnel

Thanks! If I understand correctly, with this command, the tunnel just stays open as long as the master process is running?

Revised code:

use Net::OpenSSH;
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
die $ssh->error if $ssh->error;
$ssh->system({ssh_opts => ['-O','forward',
    '-L127.0.0.1:12345:127.0.0.1:3306' ] })
    or die $ssh->error;

    Yes, it will stay open until the master process finishes or you ask it to close the tunnel sending a cancel control: 
    $ssh->system({ssh_opts => ['-O', 'cancel', '-L127.0.0.1:12345:127.0.0.
+1:3306']});
