Re^2: How do I connect to cisco pix via ssh?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I downloaded Perl.pm (Net::SSH::Perl) module and tried to connect to remote cisco pix through ssh Following is my script

use Net::SSH::Perl;
$host="IP";
$username = "username";
$pass = "password";

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("$host");
$ssh->login($username, $pass);
my($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd(sh access-list access_inside_i
+n);
print "output: $stdout\n";
print "Error: $stderr\n";
print "status: $exit\n";
[download]

But while installing GMP with nmake

perl Makefile.PL

nmake

nmake test

I got an error saying

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1' Stop.

what do i do now?

Thanks

Nalina

cl is CL.EXE which is Microsofts C/C++ compiler which comes with VC++ but not Win32 per se. Or in english Microsoft don't ship a C compiler (cl.exe) with Win32. As a result you can't compile Perl modules THAT NEED COMPILING. Many modules are pure perl, and thus don't need compiling. However many modules use C for speed and do need compiling. For simplicity use ppm when possible. See: A Guide to Installing Modules A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++ cheers tachyon	[reply]

See tachyon's comment below for the right module. On Windows, you want to use PPM instead of CPAN. CPAN only works if you have a full C compiler environment on your system, and most windows boxes don't. If you are using ActiveState Perl (most likely), you should use PPM, there is a FAQ to help get you started. ___________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]
