Hi, > IO::Tty and Net::SFTP::Foreign are enumerated in upstream README has > depends... > > http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SALVA/Net-OpenSSH-0.53_04/README These are listed as optional dependencies, and Net::OpenSSH first checks to see if the modules exist/load before trying to use those specific features, and fails gracefully otherwise. So it's not a true dependency. My use-case for Net::OpenSSH doesn't include passwords nor sftp, so I'm clearly bias! Cheers, Okan
