If you did not provide a passphrase then the key is unencrypted. Depending on what you want to do, this is a good thing. It is common for program accounts (as opposed to user accounts) to have unencrypted keys since it removes the complications of have to use ssh-agent. However, your response did not answer the primary question: can you connect to the other box from the command line without typing a password? If you can and Perl is having a problem doing the same then there is something wrong with the installation of Net::SCP, if you can't then the problem is most likely incompatible key types (since you have ruled out encrypted keys as a problem). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
