Installing Net::SFTP and Net::SSH2 without CPAN

I am making a Perl script to fetch files from a Unix Server using SFTP. I want to search the file using Regex and then download it to my system folder. I am using ActivePerl and Windows 64 bit environment. I looked on various posts which suggested the best way is using Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2 but I am facing lots of errors while installing Net::SFTP and Net::SSH2.I cannot CPAN from my system and tried with GCC and dmake. Net::SFTP is halting at Math::Pari and Net::SSH2 is asking for libraries libssh2. I downloaded libssh2 from here but not able to install it.

Also can I use any 3-d part OS tools like psftp through Perl to server my requirements.

Solution

  • 1. Net::SSH2 is not in offical PPM repositories. Install it using below:

    ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Net-SSH2.ppd

    Tested on Windows 7 and Perl 5.18.4
