hi guys,

I'm new in perl language, and my boss the senior sys-admin asked me to write a perl script. This script have to ssh a specific host, run a bash script, and get the ouptut. to print it in a CGI page (but that's another thing)

The Net::SSH module is not installed on the host, and I'd like to deal with file handle as much as possible. If it's too complicated, I'lle install the module.

right now am on my own pc (debian) and getting the following error, even with the libnet-ssh-perl installed.

Can't locate Net/SSH/Perl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ssh.pl line 3.

this is the script : 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SSH::Perl;
use strict;
use Net::OpenSSH;

my $host = "192.168.0.24";
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
$ssh->error and
  die "Couldn't establish SSH connection: ". $ssh->error;

#$ssh->system("ls /tmp") or
#  die "remote command failed: " . $ssh->error;

Could you guys give me some help to start ? I'm reading a perl book, but am really short in time..
