Sorry to clog again etc. but since I did see some interest last time round I thought I'd announce it: my Perl SSH client is now on CPAN as Net::SSH::Perl.

For those keeping score, here are the big nice things changed since version 0.02 (last time I posted on the subject):

• Now supports four different authentication methods: RSA, Password, Rhosts, and Rhosts with RSA encryption. (Caveats on the last two being that you have to be root and run on a privileged port.)

• Supports IDEA, DES, and 3DES encryption. Blowfish isn't working yet because SSH does something odd with its Blowfish.
• Integrated GMP patches into Math::GMP, Chip Turner's GMP module. He released a new version, and that made that one a lot easier.

• In accordance with that last, installation is now *much* easier (hopefully): choose the ciphers you want to use, and all the prereqs should be installed automatically through the CPAN shell.

• Fixed bugs.

So there you are. Please use it and if you find it useful either msg me or email me (address in the README).
