Funny you should mention that, since both Crypt::OpenPGP and Net::SSH::Perl were both written by PerlMonks' very own btrott.

Also, Net::SSH::Perl does not have any XS code itself, it is pure Perl. Some of the modules it depends on need a C compiler to build, but if you can get pre-built packages of all the prerequisites, you won't need a compiler.

I spent some time a few weeks back getting all the necessary modules for Net::SSH::Perl packaged as RPMs, so if anyone is interested, I could probably make them available (there are *lots* of dependencies). I'd rather not post a public URL for providing crypto since I don't know exactly what hoops I'd need to jump through to have it be legit, so please just /msg or email me. If it's useful, I could provide just the SPEC files, though.
