in reply to Net::SSH2 dumping core

At what point does the segfault occur ? When Net::SSH2 is loaded ? ... or when new() is called ? ... or when connect() is called ?

A few lines down from the top of t/Net-SSH2.t (in the Net-SSH2 source distro) you'll see: 
my ($host, $user, $pass) = qw();

[download]
Change that to: 
my ($host, $user, $pass) = qw(192.168.0.18 user pass);

[download]
and then run that script: perl t/Met-SSH2.t
Perhaps that will help pinpoint when/where the error occurs.

Be aware that, having done that, t/Net-SSH2.t now contains your username and password (in plain text) for anyone who opens the file to view.

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the reply. The core is dumping when it is trying to connect. See the following output of Net::SSH.t 
    bash-3.00# perl Net-SSH2.t
1..73
ok 1 - use Net::SSH2;
ok 2 - new session isa Net::SSH2
ok 3 - error state clear
ok 4 - set banner
ok 5 - LIBSSH2_* constants
ok 6 - list version match
ok 7 # skip version not decimal
ok 8 - banner is SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.4.0
ok 9 - poll indefinite
ok 10 - poll 1/4 second
ok 11 - ->sock is undef before connect
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

    Please advice.

    Thanks,
    Ashok.
