Hi, I have been testing / using Net::SSH2 Perl module. When we are using "connect" method to poll to remote system, it is simpling exiting when the system is not reachable. We face this problem when we embed the Perl script with CGI page. We are not able to catch the error while it exits. We have observed that in SSH2.pm file in poll subroutine it is croak instead of return, which should return the status of the poll. Hope you understand my concern and try to rectify this error soon. Thanks, Srinivas.

Note that even if you change the croak to a return, calling error() does not return an error code.

Hi John, Thank for your reply. Is there no way that we can catch / report an error when the remote system is not reachable ? Awaiting for your reply. Srinivas. On Thu, 2008-11-20 at 13:37 -0500, J. Palmer via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Currently, "connect" dies when it fails if it is being used in void context. I.e.: $ssh->connect($host); # dies on failure If doesn't die if the return value is checked: if ($ssh->connect($host)) { # never dies
