I needed to use Net::SFTP which needs Net::SSH::Perl as it's prereq. I managed to get it running on Solaris 2.7 and 2.8. Out of all the modules I've ever installed, this one by far had the most dependencies and was really somewhat annoying to install. Having said that, wow, the code is impressive and I agree with you l2kashe it is very powerful. Major thankies to btrott.
