Hi,
I am pretty new to perl and try to establish a SSH connection with the module Net::SSH::Perl.

When debugging the SSH setup I get the following error: 

localhost.localdomain: Reading configuration data /root/.ssh/config
localhost.localdomain: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
localhost.localdomain: Allocated local port 1023.

my script calls the SSH in the following way: 
print "Enter your username: ";
chomp(my $user = <STDIN>);

print "Enter your pass on that host: ";
chomp(my $user = <STDIN>);
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($ip,protocol => '2', cipher => '3des-cbc
+', debug =>'1', interactive => '1');
$ssh->login($user,$pass);

... etc.

Any Idea where the error comes from ?

Looking forward to hearing any ideas ...
