in thread Win32 SSH solution?

There hasn't been a need for Net::SSH::W32Perl for a while now. Math::PARI is available from several ppm repositories (as are the various Digest/Crypt modules), and it's all you need for ssh2 support (what you get with Net::SSH::W32Perl)

On a sidenote, for ssh1 you need Math::GMP, which is available from my repository but requires cygwin (dlls provided of course).

Now it does appear someone went and ported gmp to windows, so I'll see about getting a clean (doesn't require cygwin) version of Math::GMP to my repository.

update: Would you look at what I found, Math-GMP for Win32 Perl, it's no ppm repository, but just as good.

I finally got gladman's version to compile, but something goes wrong with nasm and memory access violation this, that ... but the kalinabears libgmp works fine, so I might put that up on my repository (we'll see)...update and I have.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Thanks PodMaster. I initially tried Net::SSH::Perl, but I could not find that either. So I added some repositiories and found it. I added Math::Pari and Crypt::DH, but when I finally get around to run it (using SSH2), it cannot find F_SETFL in ActiveState 2.8. So then I looked at where it uses it and it is trying to set the socket to nonblocking. Bummer.

    Then I loaded ::W32Perl per Limbic~Region's suggestion. Then it asked me to install Net::SSH::Perl::Key::DSA. I went to do that, but ppm could not find it. So I tried SSH1. It could not find Math::GMP, even with PodMaster's repository.

    Ideas?
