Introduction

What is `perl-Net-SSH-Expect`

This module is a wrapper to the ssh executable that is available in your system’s $PATH. Use this module to execute commands on the remote SSH server. It authenticates with the user and password you passed in the constructor’s attributes “user” and “password”. Once an ssh connection was started using the “connect()” method it will remain open until you call the “close()” method. This allows you execute as many commands as you want with the “exec()” method using only one connection. This is a better approach over other ssh wrapper implementations, i.e start a new ssh connection each time a remote command is issued or a file is transfered. It uses Expect.pm module to interact with the SSH server. A “get_expect()” method is provided so you can obtain the internal “Expect” object connected to the SSH server. Use this only if you have some special need that you can’t do with the “exec()” method. This module was inspired by Net <http and by Net modules.
