i need to ssh to remote server using Perl

[vish.chitnis]

i am trying to connect to remote machine using Perl..here is wht i have
found..in the net
use Net::SSH:erl;
my $ssh = Net::SSH:erl->new($host);
$ssh->login($user, $pass);
my($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);
when i give my hostname and other details, the compilation error i get
is
Can't locate Net/SSH/Perl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:/Perl/lib
c:/Perl/site/li
b .) at sshperl.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at sshperl.pl line 1.
whether i need to install any module for this

thanks

In my ActiveState Perl installation, I see the directory
C:\Perl\site\lib\URI

which has the ssh.pm file.
See if you have this installed. If not, use CPAN to install NET::SSH or any
other library you require.

normally I do
cpan> install packagename

that's it!

Yes, you do. Net::SSH:erl is not a built-in module. Use the ppm
program that came with your installation of ActivePerl to find it. If
it doesn't exist in a ppm repository, you'll have to build it using
CPAN. I strongly suggest in that case that you read:
perldoc perlmodinstall

I'm confused as to what you think URI::ssh has to do with
Net::SSH:erl

URI::ssh has *nothing* to do with Net::SSH:erl.

Yes.

The package you're trying to use is the package you need to install.
Net::SSH:erl

Why don't you use ppm to install the package:

ppm

i net-ssh-perl

Please stop top-posting. Post your replies BELOW what you are replying
to. Thank you.

First, I don't believe for a second that's the FULL error message.
What happened before the "NOT OK"?

Second, have you tried installing the package through ActiveState's
Perl Package Manager (ppm)? That's generally far easier for Windows
module installations.

HTH, Christoph

after run gives me the ppm command prompt..now when i issue the above
command
i net-ssh-perl to install this package, i get package not found
error..so how do i go abt it..i can download the package the( it will
be .gz file i guess) so after i download this file wht files shall i
extract and where do i paste them under perl directory..can i know the
location for this package..

thanks

type

help rep

from the ppm-prompt to find out, how to add repositories.
Then add the following address to the list:
