Hi,

I know I'm just overlooking something simple. I'm using Net::SSH::Perl to connect to a remote server and execute an arbitrary command. So far so good.

It appears that the actual connection is made on the first (SSH2 or every connection in SSH1) cmd() call. So, when the connection fails, I might get a "permission denied on line X" where X is the line of the first cmd().

Thinking that I could just capture stderr with the Net::SSH::Perl register_handler() handlers (either SSH1 or SSH2), I set up the handlers: 

$ssh->register_handler("stderr",
    sub
    {
        my ($channel, $buffer) = @_;
        print "  Unable to connect to $host\n"
          if ($buffer =~ /permission/i);
    });

Between the new constructor and the login(). I still get the "Permission denied on line X" message. grrr

clues?
