Hello Monks,

I have a subroutine using Net::SSH that connects to a server with multiple interfaces. I want it to attempt to connect to each interface and keep trying until it is successfull in which I then want it to run the mail() sub and exit out of that sub (on the server running this script, not the one I'm connecting to). What is the best way to do this? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::SSH qw(ssh);
 
my @host = qw[ 192.168.15.2 192.168.14.2 192.168.16.2 192.168.17.2 ];

foreach (@host)
{
     run($_);
}

sub run {
 
 my $host = $_[0];
 my $user = 'root';
 my $host = 'test-1';
 my $cmd = '/usr/local/scripts/down.pl';
 
 ssh("$user\@$host", $cmd);
 
 if ($something = somevalue){
  mail();
 }
}
