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
