in thread SSH2 Module on Windows

the module depends on libssh2, so is need to install that first (or is it possible that libssh2 is already included in the ppm package?)

There's no need to install libssh2. The ppm package doesn't actually contain libssh2, but it was built against a static libssh2 library - so all of the libssh2 functionality has been built into the ppm package.

    when i try to install the module, downloaded from CPAN, with the CPAN Shell...it says that it needs libssh2

    Or do you mean the module from here: (i guess so, because the CPAN downloaded are not built ;-) )

      Yes, I was referring to the uwinnipeg ppm packages. http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/ for perl-5.10, http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ for perl-5.8 and http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ for perl-5.6. Make sure you install from the repository that's appropriate for your version of perl.
