Re: Executing ssh from perl


Hi Stephen,

The last two versions of Cygwin (1.5.11 and 1.5.12) contain a known pipe incompatibility with Windows Service Pack 2. Many native Windows applications that call ssh do not work now. Some of the affected applications are 'unison', and 'cvs'. You just pointed out that native Perl also fails to work with cygwin ssh, probably because of the same incompatibility. Note that the cygwin builds of the applications still work (cygwin unison or cygwin Perl for instance).

Take a look at the following thread:

Re: More pipe problems (was Re: [Fwd: 1.5.11-1: sftp performance problem])

Best,

Adrian

That's probably the best you could hope for at this point. If you want to
know why the original program didn't work as expected, you should really
ask the distributor of your Windows perl version (ActiveState?) and not
this list.

Understood.
Thank you for your help!

Stephen
