I am trying to get a Perl script running which was simply copied from one Windows 2003 x64 to another Windows machine of the same type.

I installed ActivePerl and I receive following error:

F:\Supportsaves\Scripts\Supportsave_Script>Can't locate Net/SSH/Perl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/lib .) at F:\Supportsaves\Scripts\switches_supportsave.pl line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at F:\Supportsaves\Scripts\switches_supportsave.pl line 11.

I have searched and possibly the Net::SSH::Perl is missing, but I don't get it installed (after setting the proxy) I get

F:\Supportsaves\Scripts\Supportsave_Script>ppm install Net-SSH-Perl
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Net-SSH-Perl

When using ppm I can't find this module in GUI.

CPAN creates other errors.

Any help is appreciated.

Installing in Active Perl with CPAN Net::SSH::Perl does partly work well, there are   
missing dependencies, which can't be installed either...

  • What "other errors" does CPAN create? –  Mar 27 '12 at 15:37
  • It's in CPAN as far as I can tell... [Net::SSH::Perl](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-SSH-Perl/) – tomlogic Mar 27 '12 at 15:40

    *ActivePerl* is generally very bad at installing modules from CPAN that contain C (XS) files needing compilation. The best way to go is to use ppm, or to migrate to *Strawberry Perl*. – Borodin Mar 27 '12 at 15:44
  • Yes, either Strawberry Perl (or [DWIMPerl](http://dwimperl.com/)) is far superior to ActivePerl. –  Mar 27 '12 at 16:00

    Borodin's and Jack Maney's claim is outdated. ActivePerl is no worse than other popular Windows distributions since [it pulls in a MinGW based toolchain](http://www.perl.com/pub/2011/08/using-cpan-on-win32-activeperl.html) when needed.

  • I still have yet to successfully run mod_perl on strawberry perl. Once they get that together I'll be using strawberry as well! – Andrew Edvalson Mar 27 '12 at 20:12
  • Thanks for your hints but unfortunately I don't get it running. I reinstalled Active Perl, installed Strawberry and now active Perl again. Result after isnstalling Net::SSH::Perl in Strawberry, CPAN – user1295935 Mar 28 '12 at 13:34
  • if anyone has additional ideas please let me know – user1295935 Mar 30 '12 at 09:50

As far as I can tell, the Net::SSH::Perl module is only in the Bribes ppm repository at

http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/

If you add that to your ppm's list of repositories it should install it correctly.

Try this, this may works:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Net-SSH2.ppd
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Net-SSH-Perl.ppd

  • It can't find the right code.... F:\Supportsaves\Scripts\Supportsave_Script>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Net-SSH2.ppd ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform – user1295935 Mar 28 '12 at 14:43
  • Maybe this helps you. http://search.cpan.org/~csjewell/Perl-Dist-Strawberry-2.5001/script/perldist_strawberry This script downloads and builds a full CPAN mirror for Strawberry perl. After this you could copy onl the needed module. – user1126070 Apr 05 '12 at 11:06
