You got a number of useful responses to this question when you posted it earlier. What is it you are still confused about? Update: from perldoc Net::SSH: `FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: How do you supply a password to connect with ssh within a perl script using the Net::SSH module? A: You don't. Use RSA or DSA keys. See the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.` [download] Brad	[reply] [d/l]

The above post is correct. You cannot give Net::SSH a passpharse. I'd recommend using another module like Net::SSH::Perl (http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/Net-SSH-Perl-1.25/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm)	[reply]
