$Bill :) Are you using the http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ repo, Net::SSH2 0.09 version? I'm guessing the libssh2 dependency is satisfied in perhaps the SSH2.dll? At least I hope things get installed correctly via ppm. Anyway, I've tried several valid commands such as '/bin/df -k', 'ls', and your suggestions with no success on retrieving output. I've also tried the suggestions at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=621761 which lean towards using shell() with no luck.
