[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] RELEASE: Net::SSH::Perl 1.27

[David R. <dr...@at...>]

Summary: clean up Makefile.PL for CPANPLUS/sudo; fix "can't find =
F_SETFL" error; default to port 22 if all else fails; add "BindAddress" =
option support; better handling of SSH2 protocol names.

This release contains a set of small fixes, which I wanted to get in =
before tacking some of the larger issues logged in rt.cpan.org: channels =
(e.g. with SSH2 cmd() should reuse channels) and gratuitous use of STDIN =
(STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR should never be touched unless an interactive =
session is explicitly requested).  If those issues can be fixed it =
should take care of a number of rt.cpan.org tickets (e.g. problems =
manifesting only when a script is run under cron); if anyone else has =
patches/suggestions in these areas they'd be appreciated.  In cases =
where I don't have the system to test an issue (e.g. the NetScreen =
issue) will try to get in touch with reporters and get them a =
pre-release version to check if the bug was addressed.

Changelog:

1.27  2005.02.06
    - Set socket to non-blocking in more portable manner (rt.cpan.org =
#6728).
    - Default port to 22 in case service list is not available =
(rt.cpan.org
      #5924, Gavin Brock).
    - Allow Net::SSH::Ciphers::supported to take a protocol option to =
get
      SSH2 ciphers (rt.cpan.org #4648, dan at midstream.com), and also =
change
      Net::SSH::Perl::Kex to map SSH1 names to SSH2 names.
    - Support BindAddress (bind to specific IP) (rt.cpan.org #6725, =
patch from
      matt at katipo.co.nz).
    - Have Makefile.PL only generate the prerequisites list, and not try =
to
      install any (let the install shell handle it); this allows =
compatibility
      with CPANPLUS and sudo installs (rt.cpan.org #6835, Michael =
Schwern).

Thanks,
