Re: Input Type Error when setting up a SSH connection with Net::SSH::Perl

It'd help if you set $pass. You can avoid these types of errors with use strict;.

use strict;
...
print "Enter your username: ";
chomp(my $user = <STDIN>);

print "Enter your pass on that host: ";
chomp(my $pass = <STDIN>);
...

Hope this helps.

When using "use strict": How do I use the variables then ? I need to use "the explicit package name"... what is it for my global variables?!? Not using strict but cleartext passwords - hardcoded: When setting the $pass to a fixed value I can login but afterwards when executing any command with $ssh->cmd($command) I get the same error - it looks to me like the values read in from the STDIN are not crypted in the right way. Is there any possibility to solve this problem ? Thangs again Mark	[reply]
