Hi,

I am trying the module Net::SSH::Expect to login to a UNIX machine using ssh.

I know that I can set up the hosts as "trusted" hosts but the site I am working at does not allow this. Also to get to the target machine I need to go via a number of intermediate servers. I was hoping to use the module Net::SSH::Expect to log me in.

I have set up a simple trial but the "interact" part does not work - it hangs.
Can someone tell me how to fix it?
=========================================================== 

use Net::SSH::Expect;

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new (
            host => "utility",
            user => 'vzblk0',
            raw_pty => 1
        );
# Start the ssh process
$ssh->run_ssh() or die "SSH process couldn't start: $!";


# you should be logged on now. Test if you received the remote prompt:
$output=$ssh->read_all(2);
print($output);
if ($output =~ />\s*\z/) {die "where's the remote prompt?"};

# - now you know you're logged in - #

# disable terminal translations and echo on the SSH server
# executing on the server the stty command:
$ssh->exec("stty raw -echo");

$output = $ssh->exec("who");
print ($output);

$output = $ssh->exec("uname -a");
print ($output);

$exp=$ssh->get_expect();
$exp->interact;
