DESCRIPTION

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

After the module is loaded as follows:

  use Net::OpenSSH::Compat 'Net::SSH';

or from the command line:

  $ perl -MNet::OpenSSH::Compat=Net::SSH script.pl

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

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

It can be used together with Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache usually for a big speed boost.
