DESCRIPTION This module is a wrapper to the ssh executable that is available in your system's $PATH. Use this module to execute commands on the remote SSH server. It authenticates with the user and password you passed in the constructor's attributes user and password. Once an ssh connection was started using the connect() method it will remain open until you call the close() method. This allows you execute as many commands as you want with the exec() method using only one connection. This is a better approach over other ssh wrapper implementations, i.e: Net::SCP, Net::SSH and Net::SCP::Expect, that start a new ssh connection each time a remote command is issued or a file is transfered.
