Monks,

Could someone please enlighten me on the difference between using Net::ssh and Net::ssh::perl. On my machine, I can write a small piece of code using, net::ssh. But using the examples found on the web I can't use net::ssh::perl, that gives an error.

Also, I need to be able to execute multiple commands once I am logged in. Can someone show me the syntax for issuing multiple commands with net::ssh? here's the syntax I am using from the examples I was given:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SSH qw(sshopen2);
use strict;

my $user = "cosmicsoup";
my $host = "mybox.somewhere.com";
my $cmd = "df -k /data/staging";

sshopen2("$user\@$host", *READER, *WRITER, "$cmd") || die "ssh: $!";

while (<READER>) {
      chomp();
      print "$_\n";
  }

close(READER);
close(WRITER);

Many thanks,

Louis
