Ok then! Thanks for the very valuable input!

Ok, so I am able to issue commands to the load balancer software (which is a proprietary software layer sitting on top of a BSD core) via ssh and this is what I get:

[bluethundr@cc90-45:~ ] #:ssh bluethundr@10.50.0.1 show lb vserver gl-
+www

 Done
    gl-www (0.0.0.0:0) - HTTP    Type: ADDRESS

So something like this would be the desired output of my little script.

But when I run my script the output would indicate that it's not finding the netscaler commands:


**********LB VSERVERS**********




show lb vserver default-router
Can't exec "show": No such file or directory at ./vservers.pl line 23,
+ <LBVSERVERS> line 1.
Out =  Done
ERROR: No such command
, Error = ERROR: No such command, Exit = 64
Ready for next lb vserver? (y/n): y
show lb vserver gl-www
Can't exec "show": No such file or directory at ./vservers.pl line 23,
+ <LBVSERVERS> line 2.
Out =  Done
ERROR: No such command

And when I execute a unix shell and do a find on the "show" command it turns up nothing, nada:

root@ns# find / -name show -print
root@ns#

So my question would be, why does plain old ssh find the netscaler commands when I issue them on the command line, but Net::SSH::Perl does not find them when issued from my script? Also it should be noted that I changed the quote (") marks to backticks (`) in the Net::SSH::Perl commands.

i..e.
was
$ssh->cmd("show lb vserver $csvserver");
changed to

$ssh->cmd(`show lb vserver $csvserver`);

Right now I only have output for the latter and not the former. I can get you the other input (with the quotes) if you feel it's important. Rather late, and retiring right now and picking this up again tomorrow. Thanks for your help!
