I have installed active perl on windows 2008 server (64 bit). I tried installing Net::SSH::Perl using the command cpan install Net::SSH::Perl. After asking a few questions it started installing but failed stating that "make test had returned bad status, won't install without force. So I tried with the command to force the installation, cpanp install Net::SSH::Perl. But still no success. Got the error ending "Unable to create a new Distribution object for 'Net::SSH:Perl' -- cannot continue"

Can someone help me install this module? Thanks.

Net::SSH::Perl is old an unmaintained, use Net::SSH2 instead.

update: The Net::SSH2 distribution includes a file describing how to install it under Windows (BUILDING.WIN32).

Also, If you are using ActiveState Perl, you can get precompiled packages from here: http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/
