[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Help automating Login without password

[Steve K. <he...@ya...>]

howdy,

I was trying to setup Net::SSH::Perl to work with an
id_dsa key file. I do not want to store a password in
my code or config file.  I got ssh and scp to work
with using the id_dsa key file with my remote host (ie
it does not prompt me for a password). However, I
cannot get my scripting to work without using a
password? Can someone point me in the right direction?

--script starts here--

use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $server   = Net::SSH::Perl->new(
    'www.my.server.gov',
    identity_files => [$ENV{HOME}. "/.ssh/id_dsa"],
);

$server->login('myuser') or die "Cannot log in\n";;

warn "Logged in\n";

--script ends here--
