Net::SSH Help?
Hi everyone, Has anybody had any experience with using Net::SSH? Am trying to implement a CVS system (was going to use VCS::CVS), but just been told we're only allowing ssh across all our servers, so I need to find a replacement for telnet and FTP. So basically I'm looking for any scripts or advice on using perl to send ssh/scp commands.

perldoc -f -f says: -f File is a plain file.

I'd pass it some text files and some MP3's, and it wouldn't return true for them.

Re: Perl App or something similar .. . . . .

PerlApp already has the -small and -tiny option that you only get with the Pro version of Perl2Exe. AFAIR Perl2Exe produces (automagic) a bunch of DLLs for the modules/packages I require/use in my projects when I use the -tiny option. How do I achieve a similar result using PerlApp? ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users

Re: Path in autoexec.bat
This seems more OSish than Perlish, but there is certainly a tie to perl... Back in a younger day, when DOS v3.3 ruled, we all found that appending to PATH was dicey since whether it worked depended on whether the last guy to do so put a terminating ";" in place. Otherwise, silent failures. It was easier to prepend with an assured ";" at the tail of our own addition than to use the batch file tools to determine whether a trailing ";" was present (nobody wanted to waste precious bytes with unnecessary ";"s-- we only had 127 chars for the entire path statement, which was tight on those early networks). Did you check whether the PATH causing the failure has semicolons in all the right places? You may yet have other problems in your configuration. - Original Message - From: Sisyphus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 4:36 AM Subject: Path in autoexec.bat Hi, When I first installed perl on my PC I was unable to run perl scripts by entering at the prompt: perl somefile.pl Instead I had to specify the path to the perl interpreter.

Re: Path in autoexec.bat
Hi Will, There was no semi-colon at the end of the line - but I don't think one is required there. However, I did notice that there was one white space occurring before 'PATH'. Could that be it ? Are you telling me that the 'PATH' specification should be sufficient and that I should not need the 'SET PATH' setting ? DOS 3.3 ? I've got 4.something. ( I believe they are both fully documented in the 'Dead Sea Scrolls'. ) Cheers, Rob Visit our website at http://www.kalinabears.com.au - Original Message - From: Will W [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sisyphus [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 12:59 AM Subject: Re: Path in autoexec.bat This seems more OSish than Perlish, but there is certainly a tie to perl...
