[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Need help with Net::SSH2

[Bobby J. <bob...@se...>]

Hi All,

What I am trying to do is connect to Embedded Linux devices and run
Linux command remotely. The perl scripts will be running on a debian
Linux server. I have installed the following packages on the debian
Linux Server:
Net-SSH2-0.07
libssh2-0.13
openssl-0.9.8a
Zlib1g-dev
Libterm-readkey-perl
Net::SSH::Perl

My script is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Net::SSH2;
my $user =3D "root";
my $pass =3D "password";
my $host =3D "192.168.0.173";

my $ssh2 =3D Net::SSH2 -> new ( );
$ssh2->auth_password($user, $pass);
$ssh2->connect($host);

The problem is that the last line always complains about an
unnaturalized value. I also can't figure out how to send a Linux command
once I have a connection?

Using RSA authentication is out of the question due to the environment
that I am running the tests. I don't think I can use the module
Net::SSH:Perl as It doesn't seem to support password authentication. If
anyone knows how to use Net::SSH:Perl with password authentication
please let me know.

Also any help with Net:SSH2 would be mostly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
