PARI error when using Net::SSH::Perl

[zig007]

Hi all!
I try to login through SSH using this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SSH:erl;
my $remotehost = "host";
my $remoteport = "22";
my $remoteuser = "auser";
my $remotepassword = "apassword";
my $ssh = Net::SSH:erl->new($remotehost);
$ssh->login($remoteuser, $remotepassword);

I then get this error on ->login():
"PARI: *** incorrect type in a transcendental function. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/Math/Pari.pm line 994."

Now, it was by itself pretty problematic installing Pari (the version on cpan is 2.1.7) but as far as I understand, that's kind of normal. The only thing I have found anywhere on this error anywhere is a mentioning at

http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/archives/pari-dev-9911/msg00000.html

And that is a discussion from 1999 regarding a bug.

Help? Anyone?

Have you tried using net::ssh instead of net::ssh:erl? I had nothing but problems with net::ssh:erl.

Oh!
I never realised that they were two different libraries!
I will try that immidiately.

Thanks a lot, Travis!

Net::SSH didn't fit my bill, since it only allowed login through certificates as far as I could see.
However, in it's documentation was mentioned Net::SSH::Expect which worked like a charm!

Thanks for putting me on the right track, i'll see if I can give something back to the forum when I learn a bit more.
