Your point? I don't make the rules. They allow that because it's Sun's version of SSH that ships with the OS natively, and not something we download from the 'open community', and that version of ssh (and that one alone) is supported by Sun for our contract.

As much as I think it's a great thing, CPAN is full of modules written by everyday people, regardless of integrity or testing from the Perl community. I have no reason to argue with them, I'm just trying to get my code to work so I can move on to the next problem. Did you have a comment that actually might help me?
