Not able to open an ssh connection from a perl script(running on windows)?

have apache web server installed on my windows host. running a perl script on this machine and want to open an ssh connection to a remote unix machine and gather some data and output to the browser.


perl version used: 5.6


i am getting all dependcy errors..like some modules not found etc..I installed some modules following the instructions through PPM, but it keeps asking for other modules and I install them and so on so forth...I just dont think I got it right because i believe it wouldn't be this difficult. whether I am getting this error because i am running 5.6(not the latest) or because my perl script is running on a windows machine(rather than on a unix machine), I am not sure.





let me know if u want to take a look at the code snippet...

What kind of data are you collecting? Can this be done with a database connection rather than a perlscript running external programs? It seems like your program will be very inefficient if you have to open a program every time it makes a request for data.
Reply:For a start there is no support for ssh on Windows. You need third party software for this. A good programme is puTTy, which has facilities for setting up port forwarding etc and running the whole thing in auto mode. you could call this from your page.
