This string varies every time "make test" is run. Looks like garbage data. Nick

v5.6.1 built for i686-linux-thread-multi I get the same when I chose Only SSH2 during configuration. When chosing Both SSH1 and SSH2 it works mighty fine! /J

Hi Dave, I was wondering whether I could ask your advice on a test harness error I am receiving when compiling your latest version of Net::SSH::Perl 1.24? The installation process I have included the output far below (with exception of the make process itself for brevity - there were no errors there). The version of perl I am using is the standard one distributed with Fedora Core 1. The output from perl -V is shown immediately below. I have also tried 5.8.2 & 5.8.1 source from www.perl.com with the same error. Just wondering if you have any advice or suggestions on how I can get around the problem? I have found your module very useful as I have been using it for a perl script that I use to execute the same command concurrently on multiple systems. My thanks for your efforts. :) Kind Regards, Damien Clark.

Well, I'm just the new maintainer. You can think me when I clean up all the bugs the last maintainer left ;) Show quoted text

Wow, that is so incredibly weird. That just shouldn't happen, since it's this: sub AUTOLOAD { my $pack = shift; (my $meth = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*://; return if $meth eq "DESTROY"; if ( $pack->{data}->can($meth) ) { $pack->{data}->$meth(@_); } else { croak "Can't dispatch method $meth to Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer object."; } } Basically, it's saying that $pack is the string "%oXj". But if $pack is a string, how the heck was it the first argument to a method? Are you sure the Perl on your system isn't broken? I can't imagine how else this could happen. You said you tried this with version of Perl you compiled yourself and got the same problem? Can you do this. Add the line: Carp::cluck("AUTOLOAD"); as the _first_ line of the AUTOLOAD sub for Net::SSH::Perl::Packet and let me know what it says. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/

Hi Dave, Have just installed String::CRC32, and the make test and install worked perfectly. Many thanks for your help. Cheers, Damien. [autarch@urth.org - Fri Dec 19 00:00:22 2003]: Show quoted text
