Have you tried installing it with PPM? Apparently, a PPM package is available: Net::SSH::Perl — but I see no reason not to install Net::SSH instead (if it is compatible). And yes, Strawberry Perl can install PPM packages, it has its own PPM command line program — not the same as ActiveState's, but it works. You may have to add at least one of the repositories where it can be found to its repository list, first.	[reply]

Net::SSH::Perl is not being maintained. It has lots of unsolved bugs reported. Nowadays, on Windows, Net::SSH2 is a better option.	[reply]
