Remote machine access issue using Net::SSH

greatshots has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

monks,

I was trying to access a unix machine which is recently updated with SSH connection. my perl code is

use Net::SSH qw(sshopen2);

my $user = "metrica";
my $host = "1em0n5";
my $cmd = "ls";

sshopen2("$user\@155.226.201.96", *READER, *WRITER, "$cmd") || die "ss
+h: $!";

and I am getting the error as follows

C:\Documents and Settings\guest\Desktop>'ssh' is not recognized as an 
+internal
 or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Could any one help me to solve this. what is the cause of this issue.

It seems that Net::SSH uses the binary program called `ssh`, which is not installed on your machine. The obvious fix is to install it.	[reply] [d/l]

If you want to connect to a far end machine via ssh, but don't want to install the ssh binaries on your local machine, you can install Net::SSH::Perl for an all-Perl implementation of the SSH protocols. Note that this installation is not trivial as it requires a large number of other modules.	[reply]

I strongly recommend you use Net::SSH2. Just make sure you get its latest version (0.18 or later) and also make sure you have libssh2 version 0.18 or later (important bug fixes went into both 0.18)	[reply]
