Re^4: Fun (pain) installing Math::Pari on cygwin.

Net::OpenSSH does not work under Cygwin either.

Windows and cygwin lack some functionality required by the OpenSSH client to implement connection sharing and so that feature is non-functional under Windows.

Net::OpenSSH does not work under Cygwin either Oh ... thanks for correcting. I guess that leaves Windows (including Cygwin) users with just Net::SSH2 or Net::SSH::Perl - along with (for SFTP) the excellent Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Thanks to all; I'll see if I can avoid ActivePerl entirely with Net::SSH2 when I'm at work again tomorrow, and failing that, more Net::SSH::Perl wrangling (i.e. clean before rebuild with new opts! headdesk). Thanks again! Anne	[reply]

There is also Net::SSH::Expect, easy to install under Cygwin and not completely reliable.	[reply]

That seems like it could be dangerous (though maybe not too much for some uses)! Luckily, Net::SSH2 is fitting the bill perfectly. :)	[reply]
