Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl: Net::openssh adapter for net::ssh::perl api compatibility

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl qw(:supplant);

  use Net::SSH::Perl;

  my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new('host');
  $ssh->login($user, $passwd);

  my ($out, $err, $rc) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a subset of Net::SSH::Perl \s-1API\s0 on top of Net::OpenSSH.

After the module is loaded as...

use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl qw(:supplant);

... it supplants the Net::SSH::Perl module as if it were installed on the machine using Net::OpenSSH under the hood to handle \s-1SSH\s0 operations.

Setting defaults

The hash %Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::OpenSSH and other modules called under the hood and otherwise not accesible through the Net::SSH::Perl \s-1API\s0.

The entries currently supported are: Extra options passed to \*(C`Net::OpenSSH::new\*(C' constructor. Example: $Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH::Perl::DEFAULTS{connection} = [ ssh_path => "/opt/SSH/bin/ssh" ];

BUGS AND SUPPORT

This is a work in progress.

\*(C`register_handler\*(C' method is not supported.

Net::SSH::Perl submodules (i.e. Net::SSH::Perl::Channel) are not emulated.

Anyway, if your Net::SSH::Perl script fails, fill a bug report at the \s-1CPAN\s0 \s-1RT\s0 bugtracker (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat>) or just send me an e-mail with the details.

Include at least:

1 - The full source of the script
2 - A description of what happens in your machine
3 - What you thing it should be happening
4 - What happens when you use the real Net::SSH::Perl
5 - The version and name of your operating system
8 - The versions of the Perl packages Net::OpenSSH, IO::Pty and this Net::OpenSSH::Compat.
