NAME

       Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2 - Net::OpenSSH adapter for Net::SSH2 API compatibility

SYNOPSIS

	 use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2 qw(:supplant);

	 use Net::SSH2;

	 my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new;
	 $ssh2->connect('host');
	 $ssh2->auth_publickey("jsmith",
			       "/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_dsa.pub",
			       "/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_dsa");
	 my $c = $ssh2->channel;
	 $c->exec("ls");
	 print while <$c>;

	 $c->close;
	 print "exit status: ", $c->exit_status, "
";

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements Net::SSH2 API on top of Net::OpenSSH.

       After the module is loaded as...

	 use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2 qw(:supplant);

       it will supplant the Net::SSH2 module as if it was installed on the machine and use Net::OpenSSH under the hood to handle SSH operations.

       Most programs using Net::SSH2 should continue to work without any change.

   Setting defaults
       The hash %Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::OpenSSH and other modules called under the hood
       and otherwise not accesible through the Net::SSH2 API.

       The entries currently supported are:

       connection => [ %opts ]
	   Extra options passed to "Net::OpenSSH::new" constructor.

	   Example:

	     $Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2::DEFAULTS{connection} =
	       [ ssh_path => "/opt/SSH/bin/ssh" ];

       channel => [ %opts ]
	   Extra options passed to "Net::OpenSSH::open_ex" method.

       sftp => [ %opts ]
	   Extra options passed to "Net::SFTP::Foreign::new" constructor.

	     $Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2::DEFAULTS{connection} =
	       [ read_ahead => 128 * 1024, queue_size => 20 ];

BUGS AND SUPPORT

       This is a work in progress.

       Besides that, there are some functionality of Net::SSH2 that can not be emulated with Net::OpenSSH. Fortunatelly, the missing bits are
       rarely used so probably you may not need them at all.

       Specifically, the return values from the "$ssh2->method($ATTR)" are not real but faked ones. "auth_list" return value is also faked.

       Anyway, if your Net::SSH2 script fails, fill a bug report at the CPAN RT bugtracker
       (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Net-OpenSSH-Compat>) or just
       send me an e-mail with the details.

       Include at least:

       1 - The full source of the script
       2 - A description of what happens in your machine
       3 - What you thing it should be happening
       4 - What happens when you use the real Net::SSH2
       5 - The version and name of your operating system
       6 - The version of the OpenSSH ssh client installed on your machine ("ssh -V")
       7 - The Perl version ("perl -V")
       8 - The versions of the Perl packages Net::OpenSSH, IO::Pty and this Net::OpenSSH::Compat.
