Hi all,

Please find the below code in which i am able to get the user name and password and pass it to ssh to login, but after nothing happens, it just stays there without any further action. Please let me know, what is that i am missing.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;
use Net::SSH2;
$ENV{HOME} = "PATH";
print "Server Name to Connect:"; chomp($host = <STDIN>);
print "User Name to Login:";chomp($LoginName = <STDIN>);
print "Password for $LoginName:";chomp($pswd = <STDIN>);

my $command = "date";

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host);
my $status = $ssh->login($LoginName,$pswd);

my $stdout;
my $stderr;
my $exit;

if ($@)
{
        if ($status =~ m/Permission denied/i) {
                print "Authentication failed\n";
                print "Password for $LoginName:";chomp($pswd = <STDIN>
+);
                exit 1;
        }
}
eval {
        ($stdout,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd($command);
};
print "$stdout\n";

But if i enter a wrong password, i get permission denied and not Authentication failed message, am i doing something wrong at the eval?
