Re^3: Using Net::SSH2 with Net::Telnet::Cisco

As you can see from the docs below, "use" statements are processed before regular code. So I doubt putting them in the subroutine will accomplish what you want.

  use Module VERSION LIST
     use Module VERSION
     use Module LIST
     use Module
     use VERSION
             Imports some semantics into the current package from
             the named module, generally by aliasing certain
             subroutine or variable names into your package.  It
             is exactly equivalent to

                 BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }

             except that Module must be a bareword.

In 882270 tilly suggested:

The third option I see is to try to debug the thread problems in the original modules. I have no idea how easy or hard that will be. If you're lucky it will be as simple as not using the modules, but instead require them in the thread that you instantiate the objects from.

Have you tried ditching "use" and go with "require" like he suggested? Seems like the next course of action to take.

Re^4: Using Net::SSH2 with Net::Telnet::Cisco by ryber (Acolyte) on Jan 18, 2011 at 18:12 UTC
Thanks for your response, Argel. Yes, that did occur to me and I tried changing the "use" statements to require, but it did not make a difference. Both Net::Appliance::Session and Net::SSH::Perl still fail in the same way. I am now looking at trying to use Net::Telnet::Cisco on top of Net::SSH2. What I would like to do is create an SSH connection and pass an open filehandle to Net::Telnet. However, Net::SSH2 creates only a PERL filehandle, and Net::Telnet wants a filehandle implemented at the C level (or so is my understanding). Any thoughts on how I might be able to swing that? I was thinking I might be able to open a file on the underlying Unix system to which I could somehow pipe the PERL handle I got back from Net::SSH2 Thanks, Ryan	[reply]

That's really pushing my expertise. However, one thing I can do to help is to FrontPage your question. Hopefully that will get some qualified eyes on it. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]
