Hi

I'm currently using the Net::SSH module to get some info off of some other machines, and then I display it on a webpage via apache. I've come to realize that if SSH fails for whatever reason (can't reach the machine, or permission denied) that the script exits and prints the error (from stderr?) right there on the page. It's ugly, and the script won't finish. I figured this would work, but doesn't.
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new( $server );
if ( $ssh->login( "user", "pass" ) ) {
     my ( $stdout, $stderr, $exit ) = $ssh->cmd("ps -ef |grep \"$proc\
+" |grep -v grep");
} else {
     print "ERROR";
}

I basically want it to go on about it's business if it can't login for whatever reason, but it doesn't. It dies, and prints the error out on the page. Anyway around this?
