Hello salva,

What is a better alternative to Net::SSH:Expect?

I use it but don't know any better.

Thanks,
Rob

Nowadays, Net::SSH2 or Net::OpenSSH are probably your best options unless you are connecting to one of those routers or switches that only provided a crippled restricted shell or a broken SSH implementation. In that case, Net::Telnet (its docs explain how to use it over SSH) or even just Expect are in my opinion the way to go. Net::SSH::Expect is just not reliable, specially over slow networks, due to the feeble way it uses to detect when remote commands finnish.	[reply]
