Hi

I'm trying to write a simple ssh login script using Net::SSH::Perl. with regular password It's working without a problem, but when I try to use dsa key (my usual dsa key) it doesn't work.

here's the scritp:

----------------------------------------------------


#!/usr/bin/perl -w


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

my @ids = ("/home/haim/.ssh/identity");

my %params = (
    protocol => 2,
    interactive => 1,
    identity_files => \@ids,
);
    
my $login = Net::SSH::Perl->new("coltrane", %params);


my $auth = Net::SSH::Perl::Auth->new('PublicKey', $login);
$auth->authenticate;


$login->login("haim");

$login->shell;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run this script I get an error:
Can't call method "agent" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share perl/5.8.0/Net/SSH/Perl/Auth/PublicKey.pm line 39, <GEN0> line 1.
I've looked into the Net::SSH::Perl::Agent manpage but I can't figure out how do I use it.

can anyone please help?

thanx
