I am trying to get an ssh-connection established.

$av_obj_SSH = Net::SSH2->new();

works - easy!

$av_obj_SSH->connect($computername);

works as well!

$av_obj_SSH->auth_publickey($ENV{USER},"$ENV{HOME}/.ssh/t_zertifikat_a_test.pub","$ENV{HOME}/.ssh/t_zertifikat_a_test.ppk")

gets error:

Invalid key data, not base64 encoded (-16 LIBSSH2_ERROR_FILE) at

I have generated a keypare by puttygen!

The file stored by puttygen for the public key (...pub):

What can I do to get it working?
