I assume this belongs in a new thread as it has very little to do with filehandles or
anonymous hash references...Please start a new thread when appropriate.
Net::SSH::Perl is in a sense "stateless" depending on among other things the SSH
protocol (aka 1 doesn't support multiple commands), etc. My first question is, are
you trying to copy a file from the local system to the remote? Or are you trying to
copy a remote file to a different remote location? This latter is closer to what you
are doing, but not as likely to be what you want to do?
If you are attempting the former then the 'cwd' doesn't really matter much and you are
going to need something like Net::SFTP (which builds on Net::SSH::Perl) to do the
copying. At which point you should just provide the directory in which to copy.
If you are attempting the latter since you know the name of the directory you are
making why not just prepend it to the file name before doing the copy, rather than
changing the working directory (which may or may not work). And if this is the case
you would have to know where you are copying the file from anyways and then adjust
that path since it will no longer be your default location, so this is really all moot.
So, what are you trying to do, then we might be able to provide better assistance.
