Hi jcb,

Thank you for the pointer, unfortunatelly it does not work.

I've seen that on other modules like Net::SSH2, auth_publickey expects the path for both public and private keys.

It appears not to be the case with Net::SSH::Perl. Adding the public key does not change the outcome:

my %params = (
            "protocol"         => '2',
            "use_pty"          => 0,
            "options"          => ["stricthostkeychecking no"],
            "identity_files"   => ["client_key","client_key.pub"],
            "debug"            => 1,
        );

$ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($server, %params);# debug=>1, identity_file
+s=>\@KEYFILE);
$ssh->login();

If I try having the public key in the first place it just fails and tries the next one:

I'm going to try all the key formats I manage to generate to check if there any issue there, since I don't know what else might be causing the problem.

Regards.
