Sorry everybody,

   I have been trying to work on this all day but nothing...

IF a perl module uses:
connect($sock, sockaddr_in($rport, $raddr))
        or die "Can't connect to $ssh->{host}, port $rport: $!";

How do I catch the die() in an eval statement;  I have been using:

eval {       
                alarm 10;
                $ssh->login($user);
                ($out, $error, $exit) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);
                alarm(0);
        }; # end of eval statement        
        if ($@ =~ /Can't/) {
               try_again($ip, $host_name) = @_;
        }        

but the eval still doesn't pass the program to the sub try_again.

Sorry for being such a newbie, but I have been trying to follow the
oreilly book and still it just isn't happening.

thanks,
chad
