[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Problem with IO::Handle

[Larry F. <lf...@go...>]

Hello all,

I am a new user of Net::SSH::Perl. I have installed it on some servers for=
=20
the first time, and I am trying to get it up and running. Here's some=20
basics:

OS: RedHat Linux 9
Perl: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0)=20
configuration:
Platform: osname=3Dlinux, osvers=3D2.4.22, archname=3Di386-linux-thread-mul=
ti
Net::SSH::Perl version 1.27
IO::Handle version 1.21_00

Essentially, I am having the same problem as described here:
http://www.codecomments.com/message404300.html

I am using the 4-line demo program from the POD to test:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SSH::Perl;
my $ssh =3D Net::SSH::Perl->new('rastaman');
$ssh->login('theuser');
my($stdout, $stderr, $exit) =3D $ssh->cmd('ls');

The output is:
Can't locate object method "blocking" via package "IO::Handle" at=20
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 212, <GEN0> line 1

The line is is talking about is:
defined($sock->blocking(0)) or die "Can't set socket non-blocking: $!";

The version of IO::Handle I am using does in fact define blocking(), but I=
=20
am unfamiliar with its proper usage and syntax.

Anyone else run into this before? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Larry
