Hi,

As per the suggestions of perl monks, I installed Net::SSH::Perl module and all the prerequired modules properly using ppm.

My script to access pix & execute command to get hit counts is as follows

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 

# Steps: 
# 1. login 
# 2. go to enable mode ('en') 
# 3. execute 'no pager' to disable paging 
# 4. execute 'sh access-list access-list-name'
# 5. Get hit counts 
# 6. logout 



$|++; 
use strict; 
use Net::SSH::Perl; 
use Net::SSH::Perl::Constants qw( :msg ); 
use constant SKIP_PROMPT => 1;   # pix prints login prompt twice, skip
+ first  

my $host       = shift || die "Usage: $0 pix_name\n"; 
my $time2login = 10; 
my $time2run   = 20;

my $file = "C:\\hit_cnt.txt"; 
open (DAT, ">>$file") || die "can not open"; 

# modify these in case of prompt (hostname) changes
# assuming alphanumeric characters only:
# [a-zA-Z0-9] is actually \w, but some hosts have '_' or '-' in their 
+names 
my $enb_prompt  = qr/(?:[a-zA-Z0-9]+#)\s*/;  # alphanumeric followed b
+y '#'
my $reg_prompt  = qr/(?:[a-zA-Z0-9]+>)\s*/;  # alphanumeric followed b
+y '>'
my $pass_prompt = qr/Password:\s*/;

When I execute this script, I got the following error
