Most Highly Revered Monks,...Utmost Greetings indeed

O gorgeous ones, please help me. I have this script

#! c:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use strict;

use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host = 'VM701';
my $user = 'root';
my $pass = 'thepass';

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host);

$ssh->login($user, $pass);

my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd('ls -l');

$ssh->close;

and I get this error

The getpwuid function is unimplemented at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SSH/Per
+l.pm line
110.
[download]

My questions is: how do/can I get rid of this error? i.e. how do I implement the getpwuid thing?

basically what I am trying to do is :

1- Connect to a Linux Server from my windows BOX.

2- Cd to etc\mydir .

3- Read all files in that directory and capture all file that begin with the word Lic* .

4- Open the File and copy the contents to an external file.

Sounds simple, but like all simple things..its NOT! Well not for me anyway.

Now my Linux server only supports SSH by the way, So I guess I am stuck with module.

I did few searchs here for the above error but got none the wiser!

Thanks for your help ************************UPDATE************************

I tried it with Net::SSH and got the same error!

VERY SORRY, I WAS JUST BEING AN IDIOT,..PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST.......THANK YOU VERY MUCH
