Well I considered the wrapper version Net-SSH-Perl for the UNIX portion of my program. It does not use a password and relies on rsa keys. I really didn't want to have to set all that up for several boxes and would rather stick to the old username password setup, alot less maintenance I do believe.

For now Ill just disable functionality on the UNIX platform and keeps things as is on Windows, not that big of deal. Its already cool to have most things working on the UNIX platform anyway.

Well anyway this is the site I used for windows: http://www.soulcage.net/ppds/?S=A It still works, including the Math-Pari it provides. I had to reinstall it again when I upgraded active perl to 5.8.6.

I needed to get it working on Windows but failed miserably especially
with regards to Math-Pari, so it seems it's a platform independent
problem. I looked for a pre built binary but also failed to find
anything useful. In the end I switched to using sockets, but it meant an
extra service on the server, fortunately that project had a short life.
I spent many a hour on the Net-SSH-Perl route with no luck. However
recently I found that there's a Net-SSH module that opens pipes to SSH
on your machine, but I haven't had a chance to get it going. Not being
sure of your environment or setup would going down the CGI path help
you?

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Net-SSH-Perl on Solaris 8, ActivePerl 5.8.7

Has anyone successfully built Net-SSH-Perl on solaris 8? I tried version 1.29 but it appears the crypt packages I needed are either missing or dont install from the default PPM repositories. I skipped ahead a moment and try to compile the latest Math-Pari from CPAN and it failed. I wanted to touch base with the list to see if any known Solaris Net-SSH-Perl PPM repos were out there. I used the soulcage repository for Net-SSH-Win32 a while back on the windows platform so thats kinda what I was hoping existed for Solaris. It doesn't look that way.
