Dear wise Monks,

I am trying to program a little call routine for scp. I've found Net::SCP::Expect . It seems Net::SCP is not mighty enough to handle my needs. First question, does someone have another package which might be more easy or better?

As we all know, we can send a SCP through a system call like

scp -2 -q -C -i identity_file -P port -oBatchMode=yes
-oStrictHostKeyChecking=no $localfilename
$login\@$server:$remotefilename

[download]

The request to me now is to give a routine with parameters which does the call "in perl".

I think I have understood some things right:

  1. -q is automatically set
  2. -C is set through the OTION compress, but how do I have to write it? is it: compress=>1 ?
  3. -2 is set by protocol, so if I want to request protocol 2 it is written that? protocol=>2
  4. my server is passed that way? host=>$server
  5. user=>$login

Two other things I am asking myself how to do. I have given the options:

How can I give them to the new method?

Thanks in advance and best regards, Thomas
