Bug #11674 for Net-SSH-Perl: Can't locate object method "blocking" via package "IO::Handle"

Subject:

Can't locate object method "blocking" via package "IO::Handle"

I'm having some problems with your Perl SSH module. I keep receiving the following error: [root@wecmserver2 coreit]# perl test.pl Can't locate object method "blocking" via package "IO::Handle" at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 212, <GEN0> line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 5. I've attempted to reinstall the Net::SSH:Perl module with both Perl 5.8.3 and Perl 5.8.6 with the "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SSH::Perl'" command and manually, but did not have any success. Also, I performed an extensive search online, but I didn't find anything useful. The script I'm attempting to execute is very simple to test the functionality: #!/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl use Net::SSH::Perl my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("nistnet2.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com"); $ssh->login("root","wecm4ibm"); $output1 = $ssh->cmd("crontab -l"); $output2 = $ssh->cmd("la -al"); print "Output1: $output1\n"; print "Output2: $output2\n"; Any help would be greatly appreciated... --------------------------------------------------------------- [root@wecmserver2 root]# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2003, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

I'm having the same problem: hb3@apollo:eg$ pssh apollo -p 2222 Can't locate object method "blocking" via package "IO::Handle" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 212, <GEN0> line 1. If I comment out line 212 I get the following error: hb3@apollo:eg$ pssh apollo -p 2222 Undefined subroutine &main::ReadMode called at ./pssh line 53, <GEN0> line 1. I'm running: Slackware 9.0 2.4.20 Perl 5.8.6 Net::SSH::Perl 1.27 IO::Handle (The one that came with Perl 5.8.6) Any help on this? Thanks, Adrian

Howdy, I believe I've found a fix for this. You need to modify the Net::SSH::Perl module to explicitly use IO::Socket; You can add this line manually by editing: [your perl library path]/Net/SSH/Perl.pm On OS X 10.4.1 the path is: /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Net/SSH/Perl.pm Alternatively, you can grab the Net::SSH::Perl tarball and apply the following patch (apologies if rt mangles this by adding linebreaks, escaping html entities, etc., etc.): Cut Here 8<-----8<------8<-----8<-----8<------ Cut Here diff -Naur Net-SSH-Perl-1.27/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm Net-SSH-Perl-1.27.patched/lib/Net/SSH/ Perl.pm --- Net-SSH-Perl-1.27/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm 2005-02-04 22:33:19.000000000 -0800 +++ Net-SSH-Perl-1.27.patched/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm 2005-05-17 19:17:40.000000000 -0700 @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ use vars qw( $VERSION $CONFIG $HOSTNAME ); $CONFIG = {}; +use IO::Socket; use Socket; use Fcntl; use Symbol; Cut Here 8<-----8<------8<-----8<-----8<------ Cut Here To do this, save the patch to a file, say, net-ssh-perl-bug-11674-fix.patch, then grab the Net::SSH::Perl tarball, untar it somewhere, place your net-ssh-perl-bug-11675-fix.patch file in the same directory where you untarred the Net::SSH::Perl distribution, and invoke: patch -p0 < net-ssh-perl-bug-11674-fix.patch Cheers.

This line made it into Net-SSH-Perl-1.28 but was removed again from Net-SSH-Perl-1.29 I believe this is a regression, and a mistake, as I have had the error above using 1.29, which was fixed by readding this line. Could you fix this again in 1.30? Thanks
