The problem is that Crypt::IDEA has not been updated to handle Perl 5.6's namespace changes. An error message looking like that is a dead giveaway. You didn't mention the version of Perl that you're running, but I'll eat my left hat if it's not 5.6+, and I'll eat my right hat if btrott isn't working with 5.005_03 or lower.

Solution: run perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1, and then re-run make.

ObNet::SSH - I got it compiled without much trouble, but ran into three separate errors on trying to connect to the three hosts on which I have ssh access: 

[~/src/Net-SSH-0.01] $ perl -Iblib/lib -mNet::SSH
$s=Net::SSH::->new("host1");
$s->login("xxxxx","xxxxx");
print $s->cmd("ls");
__END__
Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits).

I looked around the code a bit, and it looks quite impressive. I'm looking forward to being able to play with it more. Keep up the good work!
