Re: How can I do with only Standard Perl Distribution

If your commands are not terribly interactive, you can write the commands to a file, and use system() or backticks to execute the command, piping the file to the input of the SSH client. This has a few caveats, however. You need to set up passwordless SSH first, because SSH does not like accepting passwords on STDIN. Here's an example:

use strict;
use warnings;
my @output=`ssh 172.16.2.3<in.asc`;
print "And here's the output:\n";
print @output;
[download]

This assumes, however, that you have written all commands to a file called in.asc

I should say, yes, my commands are kind of terribly interactive. I need to check the results of the one command and determine what command need to input next. (Like Expect, but I can't use Expect, since our environment doesn't have make gcc installed which required by IO::Pty).	[reply]
