Monks,

I have this simple piece of code using Net::SSH::Perl to login to a remote host using ssh and return the output of a df -k. This works just fine. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SSH::Perl;
use strict;

    my ($auto_serv, $search_string, $insert_cmd ) = @_;
    my $cibs_host="www.myhost.com";
    my $user = "userid";
    my $cnt = 1;
    my $line;

    my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($cibs_host, options => [
                                        "Protocol 2,1",
                                        "Debug 2",
                                        "identity_files id_dsa"]);

    $ssh->login($user);


    my (@out1, $err1, $exit2) = $ssh->cmd("df -k");


foreach  $line(@out1) {
        print "$cnt: $line\n";
        $cnt++;
        }

The problem is the output returned from @out1. Each line of the df -k is not retrieved as a line with a ("\n"). Instead the entire contents of a df -k are contained in one line. I need to be able to parse this output line-for-line. Would anyone know how I can do this? Or rather, what am I doing wrong?

I added the $cnt so I could determine what is being outputed. The entire contents of the df -k end up on 1: or line 1.

Thanks,
Louis
