But if your server only has "copy & paste" connectivity to "The Internet" what good will Net::SSH be?

I understand the sentiment, and it made for a ++funny reply. But in the OP's defense, it's quite possible (and probably not uncommon) to have a local network isolated from the internet as a whole, where it still makes sense to use SSH to communicate between the nodes in the LAN.

To misteradey's question, trying to add confirmation to what you just said: it does appear that Net::SSH is pure-Perl (and thus could copy/paste) and doesn't have any non-core dependencies that I noticed (so wouldn't require copy/pasting other modules to get Net::SSH to work).
