[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SSH::Perl and eval problem

[nadim <na...@kh...>]

Hi all,=20

I came across a problem today and I must say that I don't have the slightes=
t=20
clue of why things don't work as they should.

In the system I have, I need to let the user setup shells, I could let the=
=20
user give data to setup shells but I'd rather get some live objects as it i=
s=20
easier to not handle the diffrent types of shells I can use (local, SSH,=20
Telnet) and they might be other shell types only the user knows about. As=20
long as their shell implements the functions I need it can be whatever.

Creating SSH session is no problem and it has worked properly so far (that =
is=20
till last night). Creating SSH sessions through evaled text simply doesn't=
=20
work as it should. I narrowed down the problem to these lines. The code is =
=A0
for a minimal test to reproduce the problem not the original code.

<test.pl>
use Net::SSH::Perl ;

my $shell =3D Net::SSH::Perl->new('192.168.1.99', debug =3D> 1);
undef $shell ;

open(FILE, '<', "evaled.pl" ) or die ;
local $/ =3D undef ;
my $file_body =3D <FILE> ;
close(FILE) ;

my $distributor =3D eval $file_body ;
die $@ if $@ ;
</test.pl>

<evaled.pl>
use Net::SSH::Perl ;
my $shell =3D Net::SSH::Perl->new('192.168.1.99', debug =3D> 1);
</evales.pl>

The first SSH connection takes less than 0.2 seconds but the second one=20
(embedded in an eval) takes exactly 120 seconds!!!
