Just an update. Some debugging that I've done shown that my ssh connection was actually hung and looping between $ssh->client_loop and $ssh->drain_outgoing and never exiting . My assumption was wrong with how things had been fixed up. I seen many Google hits on this problem and allot of the fixes were older and stating to use the soulcage repo!
After many hours I made a copy of my working installations' site/lib/Net/SSH folder and pasted into a fresh perl install and then installed the Crypt modules and other dependencies from uwinnipeg.ca. Not the most ideal solution, but performance is good. If I don't get any solution for the existing packages I'll probably end up doing diffs on the files between two site folders and see if I can create a fix. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Net::SSH::W32perl /Net:SSH::Perl on activeperl win32 Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:59:29 -0500 From: listmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: activeperl@listserv.ActiveState.com I've been using Net::SSH::W32perl 0.06 originally provided by a repo on http://www.soulcage.net/ (Scott Scecina) for a few years now. And my install still works great. Unfortunately this site is down and I can no longer find that specific version and dependencies. I believe Scott had hacked some parts of that package or any of its dependencies so as to make it work without Math::BigInt::GMP but not falling back to the slowest math libs. Without fast math routines using Net::SSH::Perl is incredibly slow (10 minutes or more to connect). A couple years back I solved this problem on Solaris by building against libgmp, but I haven't created a working solution on Windows using a clean development machine. This concerns me since I have applications in production which rely on the continue development and availability of this functionality. I've been testing the packages provided at http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ with no luck on the performance issue so far. I will be testing against Net::SSH:Perl v1.23 (instead of 1.30) next. If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I would appreciate it. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
