Darn Perl Modules
Kind of at a loss on where to look. RH72 systems trying to install the perl module Net::SSH::Perl with little success. Don't really know where to turn for help after scouring cpan site. Anyone have any suggestions one a place to turn for information. What is happening is while trying to install the module using perl -MCPAN shell and then install Net::SSH::Perl a very very long process begins. I've isolated a slow part of the process to when the dependency (of course after it's sub dependencies are installed) of Math::Pari is made and then during testing it gets to a point where it seems to stop, but having left it overnight... some 12 hours it got a little further. I went through the process of trying to manually install each of the dependant modules (there is like 25 of them) and everything goes along pretty good until I get to the 7th one (Math::Pari) which makes fine, but the test of it gets to a certain point and slows, so I just skipped the test and installed it. Again every module just loads up fine until module 20 (Crypt::Primes) which builds fine but then fails each and every test. Seeing it is a dependency of Crypt::RSA the testing of it fails. Hope that is descriptive enough. Anyone know more about this than me please chime on in. Wish I had an rpm that had with all perl modules in it...

Download the Net::SSH::Perl module yourself and install it manually. It's easy, make Makefile.pl make make test make install There is a test in "make test" that hangs on some systems, that is why CPAN install is probably hanging for you. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}
