installing Net/SSH/Perl.pm
I am fairly new to scripting with perl. I am trying to ssh into a server and perform some commands. I have to provide a username and password.

When trying to run the script that i have so far (code listed below). I get the following error. I am assuming this means that i need to install/make Net/SSH/Perl.pm, however, when i follow the instructions and tutorials i have found online, none have worked. Can someone please let me know what i need to do. I have tried CPAN and ppm, CPAN says it cannot find net::ssh::perl or other variations of that word set. And ppm will not even run, i do not see it in my perl directory. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    // The code
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use Net::SSH::Perl;
    
    $uName = "username";
    $pWord = "password";
    
    $unitIp = $ARGV[0];
    
    my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($unitIp, 35903);
    $ssh->login($uName, $pWord);
    my $out = $ssh->cmd("java -version");
    print $out;
