in reply to Net::ssh vs Net::ssh::perl

I would guess that you received errors when you tried Net::SSH::Perl because it is not installed on your computer. See A Guide to Installing Modules for more on that.

Personally, i would use Net::SSH::Perl, because i have found it to be easier to use. I am not sure if Net::SSH offers a way to abstract having to read from the child process or not, but Net::SSH::Perl definitely does. I would give an example, but i have already posted one today over at Creating path on remote host. Best of luck. :)
