[Fwd: Cygwin 1.5.9 on Windows XP using ssh within perl]

[Lucy Upchurch]

Hi,

I have a perl script running on another machine.  within the perl script 
I do an ssh to the XP machine running cygwin 1.5.9.  The command I use is:

ssh XPPC dir /home/myfiles

 >From within the perl script I receive the following error:

Remote pc cmd failed:  ssh XPPC dir /home/myfiles

If I do this same command from a shell remotely, it gives me a listing 
of my directory on the pc.

I have generated all my keys so I am not prompted for a password from 
the command line. 
Do I need something to redirect my output to the remote machine?  I am 
just trying to count the files within the directory.

Thanks for any assistance.

Lucy
