NAME¶

Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache - cache and reuse SSH connections transparently

SYNOPSIS¶

  use Net::OpenSSH;
  use Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache;
  for (1..10) {
    my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
    $ssh->system("$cmd $_");
  }

DESCRIPTION¶

This module installs a $Net::OpenSSH::FACTORY hook implementing a SSH connection caching scheme.

$Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::MAX_SIZE controls the cache size. Once as many connections are allocated, the module will try to free any of them before allocating a new one.

The function "clean_cache" makes the module forget (and close) all the cached connections:

  Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::clean_cache();
