[TriLUG] Perl question

[Greg Brown]

Can anyone help me out what this will work:

$ssh = Expect->spawn("ssh -l $username $ip") || die "didn't work: $!\n";

but this will NOT work:

$ssh = Expect->spawn("ssh -l $username $ip") || next;

nor will this

next if (not $ssh = Expect->spawn("ssh -l $username $ip"));

I'd really REALLY like to have the failures skip to the next one.. I've got
over 1000 routers to update tonight via this script and it's killing me
stopping ever 5 or so because TACACS isn't properly configured (or whatever
the malady is).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
