Net::OpenSSH::Compat::Perl(3pm)

NAME
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 API 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 SSH 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 accessible through the Net::SSH::Perl API.

The entries currently supported are:

connection => [ %opts ]
    Extra options passed to "Net::OpenSSH::new" constructor.

    Example:

      $Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH::Perl::DEFAULTS{connection} =
        [ ssh_path => "/opt/SSH/bin/ssh" ];

BUGS AND SUPPORT
This is a work in progress.

"register_handler" 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 CPAN RT bugtracker (<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
6 - The version of the OpenSSH ssh client installed on your machine ("ssh -V")
7 - The Perl version ("perl -V")
8 - The versions of the Perl packages Net::OpenSSH, IO::Pty and this Net::OpenSSH::Compat.
