Hello everybody!

I'm trying to establish a SSH connection between two windows servers using Net::SSH::Any. Why this module? It fits all my requirements (SFTP, keep-alive connection...) so I would love to keep going with this one.
Fact is, it works with password authentication but I need to use the key authentication now. First of all, I've generated a pair of public/private keys and converted them into OpenSSH. All using PuttyGen.

To test them, I tried with Putty and it works perfectly. When I tried with my perl script, it fails with "Authentication failed"

Here is my script:

use Net::SSH::Any;

$instance = "myserver.mydomain";
$path = "C:\\Temp\\PrivateKey_openssh.ppk";

$ssh = Net::SSH::Any->new($instance, user => "mydomain\\mylogin", key_
+path => $path);
$ssh->error and die $ssh->error;
print "SSH connection accepted\n\n";

Does anyone see something I missed? Thanks!
