Net-SSH2 (0.33) **

This is a useful module but extremely painful to use. I strongly recommend to read the poll(2) man page of your existing system and the official documentation from libssh2.

Net-SSH2 (0.28) **

This product SEEMS like it wants to be a really great library. But, without documentation, or at least example programs which use it, there is no way in hell I can claim how good it is.

One thing is for sure, installing it was a whole lot easier than Net::SSH. For starters, it actually _completed_ the installation process. Net::SSH and Net::SFTP both deadlocked on me while executing the tests for dependencies. And, installation was very fast.

The top-level API seems to behave as one would expect. However, attempting to use Net::SSH2::File methods is proving most challenging. In my particular case, creating a file on the remote end of the SFTP connection yields "Resource temporarily unavailable" errors constantly, and no apparent fix.

Googling and Binging yields no results.

Please. WE. NEED. DOCUMENTATION.

Thanks.

Net-SSH2 (0.18) *****

Although there is an external dependency of libssh2, I feel this module is much easier to use and much (much,much,...) easier to install then the alternatives Net::SSH or Net::SSH::Perl.
