[Fwd: Net::SSH::W32perl /Net:SSH::Perl on activeperl win32]

[listmail-3]

Just an update.

Some debugging that I've done shown that my ssh connection was actually
hung and looping between $ssh->client_loop and $ssh->drain_outgoing and
never exiting . My assumption was wrong with how things had been fixed
up.  I seen many Google hits on this problem and allot of the fixes were
older and stating to use the soulcage repo!

After many hours I made a copy of my working installations'
site/lib/Net/SSH folder and pasted into a fresh perl install and then
installed the Crypt modules and other dependencies from uwinnipeg.ca.  
Not the most ideal solution, but performance is good.  If I don't get
any solution for the existing packages I'll probably end up doing diffs
on the files between two site folders and see if I can create a fix.

I've been using Net::SSH::W32perl 0.06 originally provided by a repo on
http://www.soulcage.net/ (Scott Scecina) for a few years now.  And my
install still works great.  Unfortunately this site is down and I can no
longer find that specific version and dependencies.  I believe Scott had
hacked some parts of that package or any of its dependencies so as to
make it work without Math::BigInt::GMP but not falling back to the
slowest math libs.  Without fast math routines using Net::SSH::Perl is
incredibly slow (10 minutes or more to connect).

A couple years back I solved this problem on Solaris by building against
libgmp, but I haven't created a working solution on Windows using a
clean development machine.  This concerns me since I have applications
in production which rely on the continue development and availability of
this functionality.    I've been testing the packages provided at  
http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ with no luck on the performance issue
so far.  I will be testing against Net::SSH:Perl v1.23 (instead of 1.30)
next.

 If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I would appreciate it.

I've been trying to use Net::SFTP recently, without luck.  When I try to
execute a simple fetch with code like:

use strict;
use Net::SFTP;

my $scp = new Net::SFTP(
     'SOMEHOST',
     user => 'SOMEUSER',
     password => 'SOMEPASS',
) or die "Unable to create host connection";

my @list = $scp->ls('/tmp');
print "HERE IS /tmp\n:";
map {print "\t$_\n";} @list;
my $stat = $scp->get('/tmp/InstalledDB', 'c:/s2/InstalledDB');
print "get status is $stat\n";


...I get the error:

The getpwuid function is unimplemented at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 110.

I know it can be pretty difficult getting SSH related packages working
on Win32.  Can anyone out there summarize the steps required to make
this stuff work?  I've seen various references to packages supplied at
soulcage.net, but I think that site has fallen away.  Any advice is
appreciated. I'm using perl 5.8.8, BTW.

Thanks,
Mike Ellery

Net::SSH2 works fine for me under Windows.

This doesn't show up in 5.8.820 repo is there another repo that has it
or did you build libssh2 and its dependancies manually.  I don't usually
build on Windows so I'm not sure what to do about the "./configure" part.

Thanks.
