[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] $ssh->cmd With multiple commands

[Eric L. S. <esa...@vt...>]

I have seen a couple of postings regarding this question; however, I could not 
find a clear answer or a working example in any of the postings.

I am using Net::SSH::Perl with identity keys.  I have validated connectivity 
and the successful execution of a command:

my (@sshout) = $ssh->cmd("ls");
foreach (@sshout) {
   print "$_";
}

What I would like to be able to do is open a connection to a given server and 
execute a series of commands, rather than open / close open / close etc. . .

Can this be done and if so is there a working example?

Thank you!
Eric
