Hello, I have been having problems with NET::SSH::Expect lately and I have always found it generally slow and buggy.

Upon doing some research, I found Net::OpenSSH. It appears to be working really fast and be reliable.

The only thing though is that I am having a problem running multiple commands within the same session(logging onto the device only once and run all the commands). Unless I mis-understood the documentation provided by Salvador Fandiņo, I have the following code which log's on (into a Cisco router by the way) and displays the login banner and then returns to my linux prompt.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use IO::Pty;
use Expect;
use Net::OpenSSH;

my $host = '10.0.0.1';

my @cmd = ('sh run', 'sh ver');
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);

my ($pty, $pid) = $ssh->open2pty(@cmd) 
    or die "unable to run remote command @cmd";
my $expect = Expect->init($pty);

I hope there is a good solution. I really want to move away from Net::SSH::Expect...
