That is good to know. The last time I looked at Net::OpenSSH I found this in the documentation:

On the other hand, Net::OpenSSH does not work on Windows, not even und
+er Cygwin.

Net::OpenSSH specifically requires the OpenSSH SSH client (AFAIK, the 
+multiplexing feature is not available from any other SSH client). How
+ever, note that it will interact with any server software, not just s
+ervers running OpenSSH sshd.
