9This module implements a Perl interface to ssh. It is a simple wrapper around
10the system `ssh' command. For a perl implementation that does not require
11the system B<ssh> command, see L<Net::SSH::Perl> instead. For a wrapper
12version that allows you to use passwords, see L<Net::SSH::Expect> instead.
13For another non-forking version that uses the libssh2 library, see
14L<Net::SSH2>. For a way to execute remote Perl code over an ssh connection
15see L<IPC::PerlSSH>.

33Assitance wanted - this module could really use a maintainer with enough time
34to at least review and apply more patches. Or the module should just be
35deprecated in favor of Net::SSH::Expect or made into an ::Any style
36compatibility wrapper that uses whatver implementation is avaialble
37(Net::SSH2, Net::SSH::Perl or shelling out like the modules does now). Please
38email if you are interested in helping.
