Thank you! I'm not set on a particular module, Net::SSH::Perl is only what I found when I was looking. Net::OpenSSH looks better to me. I guess I'll have to try it out and see if it works. The ssh implementation the switch uses is probably somewhat different from the implementations these modules have been made to work with, so that could give me trouble. But it works fine when I just ssh into the switch, so why shouldn't it work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
