| Subject: | ssh-rsa isn't numeric ... error when using protocol 1 |
I am investigating the Net::SSH::Perl module, and noticed this error message
Argument "ssh-rsa" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/Net/SSH/Perl/Key/RSA1.pm line 94, <FH> line 45
when running the sample script cmd.pl in /eg.
$ ./cmd.pl

Enter the port number of the remote sshd: [ssh]

[2] DES

as near as I can tell, this is because the line in
RSA1.pm which reads
$keyA->{rsa}{bits} == $keyB->{rsa}{bits} &&
should read
$keyA->{rsa}{bits} eq $keyB->{rsa}{bits} &&
