Hi,

I am trying to grab the contents of ~/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into a variable and copy it so a user on the remote machine in /home/remoteusername/.ssh/authorized_keys. I have the file already in a variable via: 

my $fnpubcert = "/home/localusername/.ssh/id_rsa.pub";
open my $fhpubcert, '<', $fnpubcert or die "error opening $fnpubcert $
+!";
my $mypubcert = do { local $/; <$fhpubcert> };

If I try this is creates the files but empty (I am sure you know why). Please advise: 

my $cmd = "echo $mypubcert > /home/remoteusername/.ssh/authorized_keys
+";
my ($stdout,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd("$cmd");
if ($stdout || $stderr) { print "STDOUT: $stdout STDERROR: $stderr\n";
+ }
my $cmd = 'chown remoteusername.remoteusername /home/remoteusername/.s
+sh/authorized_keys; chmod 600 /home/remoteusername/.ssh/authorized_ke
+ys';
my ($stdout,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd("$cmd");
if ($stdout || $stderr) { print "STDOUT: $stdout STDERROR: $stderr\n";
+ }

ps I thought it might be this but doesn't work: 

my $cmd = "cat > /home/vmsys/.ssh/authorized_keys";
print $mypubcert | my ($stdout,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd("$cmd");

Thank y'all in advance!
