Hello, I am trying to connect to a remote solaris machine from windows. I am unable to connect using Net::SSH2 auth_publickey. Does auth_publickey work in Windows? auth_password works fine for me. This is my code. 
use Net::SSH2;
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh2->debug(1);
$ssh2->connect('hostname') or die;
if ($ssh2->auth_publickey('username', 'openssh.public', 'openssh.priva
+te.ppk')) {
    print "Connected";
} else {
    print "failed";
}

This fails all the time. I have used the same key successfully in Putty to connect to the server. The key files are on the same folder this script is. Also how can I get more verbose debug messages? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saura
