Executing ssh from perl

[Adrian Corduneanu]

Hi Stephen,

The last two versions of Cygwin (1.5.11 and 1.5.12) contain a known pipe 
incompatibility with Windows Service Pack 2. Many native Windows 
applications that call ssh do not work now. Some of the affected 
applications are 'unison', and 'cvs'. You just pointed out that native 
Perl also fails to work with cygwin ssh, probably because of the same 
incompatibility. Note that the cygwin builds of the applications still 
work (cygwin unison or cygwin Perl for instance).

Take a look at the following thread:

Best,

Adrian
