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

    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

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

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