I understand the logistics of the SSH connection, and that writing
directly to the socket is not what i'm suggesting.  I'm not a perl hacker
so i'm sure its more complicated then I think, but I what I had in mind
was, since you already create a tied filehandle that one can use to send
IO to after a shell channel is created, why not create a real file handle.

I'll take your previous response as, its way more complicated then I
think, and consider it out of scope.  Unless that explanation somehow
makes a difference.

Yeah, I was having problems actually using a shell channel, i was trying
anything.  So noted.

I'll let you know about an example/documentation.  I'll be messing with it
over the next week or so as I have free time, If I come up with something
I'll submit it for your review.
