in reply to Secure Telnet

i have gotten the Net::SSH::Perl package and the dependencies that i needed (crypt::IDEA, math::GMP and string::crc32). When i do an nmake on them, i get this

    since you are running on Windows, you are very likely running ActiveState perl. If that's the case, then it comes with PPM. Just start that from the command window and follow instructions on installing new modules. If I remember correctly, all you have to do is type 'install New::Module' (without the quotes of course).
      well the module that i want, Net::SSH::Perl is on CPAN, i tried via PPM and it is a no go. I read that you cant add cpan to the repository list in ppm. Is this true??
        You might want to add some repositories via PPM::Repositories and then use PPM to search again for Net::SSH.

        Cheers,
