Hello IT_not_Dev,

Just to add a minor note here while we are waiting for your reply to the question of the fellow monk Eily.

Why are you login in to the server with username and password? It is way way safer and faster to login with ssh keys.

On module Net::OpenSSH it simple as that:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::OpenSSH;

# $Net::OpenSSH::debug = -1;

my $host = 'localhost';

my %opts = ( user     => "user",
         port     => "22", # default
         # psw    => "psw",
         key_path => "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa" );

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, %opts);
$ssh->error
    and die "Can't ssh to $host: " . $ssh->error;

my @ls = $ssh->capture("ls");
$ssh->error and
    die "remote ls command failed: " . $ssh->error;

chomp (@ls);

print Dumper \@ls;

__END__

$ perl test.pl
$VAR1 = [
          'Desktop',
          'Documents',
          .
          .
          .
        ];

In case you want to reach multiple servers take a look on Net::OpenSSH::Parallel. Simple example same theory as before:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::OpenSSH::Parallel;

# $Net::OpenSSH::Parallel::debug = -1;

my %hosts = ( 'localhost' => { host  => "localhost",
                   user  => "user",
                   port  => "22", # default
                   # psw   => "psw",
                   key   => "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa", } );

my $maximum_workers = scalar (keys %hosts);
my $maximum_connections = 2 * $maximum_workers;
my $maximum_reconnections = 0;

my %opts = ( workers       => $maximum_workers,
         connections   => $maximum_connections,
         reconnections => $maximum_reconnections
    );

my $pssh = Net::OpenSSH::Parallel->new( %opts );

foreach my $label (keys %hosts) {
    $pssh->add_host( $hosts{$label}{host},
             user              => $hosts{$label}{user},
             port              => $hosts{$label}{port},
             password          => $hosts{$label}{psw},
             key_path          => $hosts{$label}{key},
    );
}

$pssh->push('*', command => 'ls');
$pssh->run;

__END__

Hope this helps, BR.
