Sorry about the tags. I tried that but I think I'm use impaired.

Well, nothing, really. I work the ssh by hand and can see where the key information tries to write. I looked at all the files and found that I have a ./ssh in root and my_userid (which is expected). I turned on total use permissions for each just to see if it is trying to access one of these - but it's not.

So I went into the Hosts.pm file until Net::SSH::Perl and discovered the routine "sub _add_host_to_hostfile" is the one containing the check and error.

The code in there that errors is the following: 

unless (-d $dir) {
  print "Inside the 'unless'". "<br / >";
  require File::Path;
  File::Path::mkpath([ $dir ])

Now I'm pretty much stuck. I feel like the dullest person in the world right now. I apologize!

Thank you for the help. I AM happy to have it! REALLY!!
