My current action plan is to:

  1. Uninstall Strawberry Perl.
  2. Make sure C:\strawberry directory is gone.
  3. Clean up my PATH -- remove duplicates, strawberry references, stuff I don't recognize.
  4. Reinstall Strawberry Perl, making note of my installation options, if any.
  5. Try to install Net::SSH::Perl by running cpan Net::SSH::Perl.

If it still fails after that, I'll start looking at my make settings and cpan configuration as suggested by Anonymous, syphilis, and Eliya.

Thanks, All!
