[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SSH2 - handling connect timeout condition

[Ravi K. <rav...@gm...>]

Hi,
I am seeing that connect aborts the script execution when the host is not
reachable. Is it possible to make it change this behavior? I would like it
to continue so that I can probably check error to see if an error occurred
and exit gracefully. I have been unsuccessful in finding any doc/example
that handle this error condition.

my $ssh = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh->debug(1);
$ssh->connect("1.2.6.6");

if ($ssh->error)
{
  print "cannot connect";
  exit;
}
