Problem with Net::SSH Perl

Hello,

I tried using Net::SSH Perl, building it into Active Perl 5.8.6.
It was compiled on Unix platform, Solaris 10. But when I try to run a
script that uses Net::SSH, it fails. It connects with the other
machine, but computations take a long time. And due to this, it takes
about 3-4 minutes and the other side rejects the connection, resulting
in a broken pipe.

Here is a snapshot of the run:

bash-2.05b# perl perl-ssh.pl priems45 root opticall

Broken Pipe

Net::SSH built into another version of perl works fine on a Solaris 8
Machine.

Please let me know what the problem may be which results in the
"broken pipe " error. I could make out that the server is closing the
connection because the client (where Net::SSH perl is installed) is
slwo in its computation ( Maybe some problem with ssh perl)

Could anyone help me in this regard?

Thanks,
Avinash.
