In case anyone's interested: I've put out a new version of Net::SSH. The new version is at http://rhumba.pair.com/ben/perl/Net-SSH-0.02.tar.gz.

The following features have been added:

• Much better cipher support: now supports DES and 3DES; can specify different ciphers to 'new' method; can only select ciphers supported by sshd server.

• Better host key support: add unrecognized host keys to user host key file.

• Nice example script in eg/ dir.

There are other things, like small fixes etc.

Sadly the installation is still tricky; in fact I've added *another* module that isn't on CPAN (Crypt::CBC). The module is on CPAN in another form; make sure you don't get that one, because it doesn't seem to be compatible w/ the CBC algorithm in SSH. Use the one included in the 'bndl' directory.

I have some bug fixes to track down (one is a problem with the rsa session key encryption that only pops up once in a while; could even be an unrelated thing), and then I'll probably start the adding-to-CPAN process.
