Asynchronous binding for libssh; client-only and limited functionality so far.

SSH::LibSSH

An asynchronous Perl 6 binding to LibSSH. So far it only supports client operations, and even then only some of those. It implements:

• Connecting to SSH servers, performing server authentication and client authentication (by default, using a running key agent or the current user's private key; you can also provide a private key file or a password)
• Executing commands, sending stdin, reading stdout/stderr, and getting the exit code
• Port forwarding
• Reverse port forwarding
• Single file SCP in either direction

See the examples directory for a set of examples to illustrate usage of the module.

All operations are asynchronous, and the interface to the module is expressed in terms of the Perl 6 Promise and Supply types.

On Linux, install libssh with your package manager to use this module. On Windows, the installation of this module will download a pre-built libssh.dll, so just install the module and you're good to go.
