I need to run a remote command. I will not know the language before hand. This seemed like a simple problem that shell could handle but I need more error checking. But most importantly I needed a hash so off to perl.

I've got Net::OpenSSH working if I just use capture with no args but I need to send an arg & this causes an err to be flagged.

my @output = $ssh->capture("$cmd $arg1 $arg2");

 if($ssh->error) {
     if($ssh->error) {
        $myhash{"$cmd" = "FAIL";
     } else {
        $myhash{"$cmd" = "Ok";
     }
}

I've got filehandles set up and everything gets printed to these (a log & an err log). But when I add the args to the $cmd the err file says it doesn't know a command by that name (the 1st arg is a build number so its a number).

I've spent lots of hours searching & tried many things but I need the details of the output not just a 0 or 1.

I've read the CPAN docs & tried many things but none worked but to send the $cmd...

thoughts?
