in reply to SSH question - Socks Proxy

The source for Net::SSH is available for viewing online here. Although not noted in the documentation, it looks like you could do something like this:

use Net::SSH qw(ssh); push( @Net::SSH::ssh_options, "-v" ); push( @Net::SSH::ssh_options, "-F" ); push( @Net::SSH::ssh_options, "./ssh_proxy.cfg" ); ssh('beng1@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', $command);
