Re: Net::SSH2 strangeness

$@ is the error returned by an eval. I think you want to display $!, the error returned by almost anything else. (Please note that no error is displayed after the name of the host you're connecting to.)

Make this change, run it again, and you'll have a better idea what the problem is.

(Sorry, I don't know why the connect is complaining about a bad concatenation, although I'm certain someone else will be able to answer that.)

And `$!` is for system calls. `$ssh2->connect` is not a system call, so `$!` is not appropriate either. Net::SSH2 provides the `error` method to get error messages. (Although it looks like it croaks for some errors from looking at the source.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

(Sorry, I don't know why the connect is complaining about a bad concatenation, although I'm certain someone else will be able to answer that.) That's not connect, that's $@ being undef in "cant connect to $hostname: $@ \n". -- Online Fortune Cookie Search	[reply]
