Re: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] input must be 8 bytes long at Crypt/DES.pmline 57

[Heinrich, M. <Mat...@sa...>]

Wow... It looks like either the XML::Smart or Object::MultiType
(required by the XML::Smart module) has stepped on Math:BigInt  (don't
ask me how...) =20

I ran into the same problem when I installed the XML module.  My SSH
script, which has always worked, stopped working, and looped an error
message complaining of an uninitialized variable being used, which may
be similar to what you were experiencing.

I tried removing and reinstalling a couple of modules (Crypt::DH,
Math::BigInt::GMP, and some more) , but nothing got it to work until I
removed Math::BigInt!

I got a list of modules to remove:

$ make uninstall
unlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Math/BigFloat.pm
unlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Math/BigInt.pm
unlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm
unlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Math/BigInt/CalcEmu.pm
unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Math::BigFloat.3pm
unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Math::BigInt.3pm
unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Math::BigInt::Calc.3pm
unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Math::BigInt::CalcEmu.3pm
unlink
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Math-BigInt/.packlist

Uninstall is deprecated. Please check the packlist above carefully.
  There may be errors. Remove the appropriate files manually.
  Sorry for the inconveniences.

Then just copied all the unlink commands and pasted to the bash shell.
Then I just did another "perl Makefil.PL", "make", then "make install"
and now it seems to work!

Subject: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] input must be 8 bytes long at
Crypt/DES.pmline 57

Hi I'm a newbie to perl and I was trying to write a script to read a xml
with all the info for the connection and all the commands that need to
run on the remote machine. I was using Net::SSH::Perl and it works if I
don't get the variables from the xml, but if I read the xml using
XML::Simple or XML:Smart it give the the following error:

input must be 8 bytes long at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi/Crypt/DES.pm line
57.

If I put in the info to login to the ssh server hardcoded in the script
it works but when ever I use the variables that were read by the XML
modules it give me the error.

If I hardcode the login info to the script and then try to use commands
that were read from the xml script it give me the same error.

Can someone help me please!!!

Thanks in advance,
Glen

I'm running:
opensuse 10.1. Net
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i586-linux-thread-multi Net-SSH-Perl-1.30
Crypt-DES-2.05
XML-Simple-2.16
XML-Smart-1.6.9
cpan script version 1.03
CPAN.pm version 1.7602


The script is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use XML::Smart;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $XML =3D XML::Smart->new($ARGV[0]);

my $host =3D $XML->{Server}->{ip};
my $user =3D $XML->{Server}->{user};
my $password =3D $XML->{Server}->{password};

my $ssh =3D Net::SSH::Perl->new ($host);
$ssh->login($user, $password);
print "Connected...\n";


The XML -------------------------------- <Server>
	<ip>10.10.10.10</ip>
	<user>userName</user>
	<password>password</password>
        <Commands>
		<Command>cd d:/</Command>
	</Commands>
</Server>
