SSH and Strawberry Perl

Strawberry Perl doesn't come with SSH modules pre-installed.

Here is how to insall

C:\>perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9304)
ReadLine support enabled

cpan> install Net::SSH
Fetching with LWP:
http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan.strawberryperl.com:80 (connect: timeout)]

As a last ressort we now switch to the external ftp command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ftp.EXE'
to get 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp3104'.

Doing so often leads to problems that are hard to diagnose.

If you're victim of such problems, please consider unsetting the ftp
config variable with

o conf ftp ""
o conf commit

I would like to connect to one of the following sites to get 'authors/01mailrc.txt.gz':

http://www.perl.org/CPAN/
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/

Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes] yes

ADSL on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)





Working with ADSL modems on Ubuntu 9.10:


Configure: pppoeconf
sudo pppoeconf
Check: rohit@lenovo:/etc/network$ more interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface dsl-provider inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider dsl-provider auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual
Start: pon

rohit@lenovo:/etc/network$ sudo pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5
Stop:poff
sudo poff
Log:plog

rohit@lenovo:/etc/network$ plog Dec 8 16:37:45 lenovo pppd[11102]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. Dec 8 16:37:45 lenovo pppd[11102]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5

This method works well for BSNL's ADSL lines in Kolkata.
