Perl-Net-SCP On CentOS 7
As part of building my new mail server, I’m installing the RPMS to match my old server.
However, I can’t find a perl-Net-SCP RPM for this version. Can someone point me to where I can get it, preferrably a repo that I can use that has it.
I have found perl-Net-SCP-0.08-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm. As a last resort I could localinstall that. Would it have any nasty side effects?

What are you using to build you mail server? Ever considered giving iRedMail a try? Installs everything you need to run a Linux based mail server completed with webmail and groupmail (using SOGo).

I’ve just tried this and I got the following which seems to indicate a bigger problem. Also Googling seems to indicate lots of changes since F9 days.
Can anyone suggest the best way to maintain compatibility with the biggish number of Perl scripts I have that use Net::SSH and Net::SCP
I have a reasonably complex EXIM / PostgreSQL / Dovecot configuration with lots of bespoke configs. It provides features such as
* interacts with other geographically distributed mail servers to distribute emails internally (usual stuff)
* photocopier scan-to-email reception -> OCR and database injection,
* email to fax/fax to email,
* distribution / announce lists
* Device Notification -> Helpdesk injection
* off-site message backup
To be able to complete this project in a timely manor I’m trying to reduce any changes to a minimum, although having looked at the exim.conf and dovecot.conf there has been quite a lot of changes.
Hi All,
My new server is now built and I’m rebuilding the various services. Falling at the first hurdle, my xinetd.conf service requrires perl-Net-SCP which doesn’t appear to be available on C7.
I could install CPAN and install it that way, but obviously I’d rather try to keep to RPM’s if I can. I’ve tried Google, but not really come up with a solution I’m happy with.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve found a Fedora 29 RPM on RPMfind. Would that be close enough?
An older thread on CentOS pointed to this resource:
http://dries.eu/rpms/perl-Net-SCP-Expect/perl-Net-SCP-Expect
HIH, Gianluca
Sorry I missed the “Expect” in the rpm name….
Pressed return too earlier… But in the same repo there is:
http://dries.eu/rpms/perl-Net-SCP/perl-Net-SCP
that seems the same version I have in my Fedora 29

HI Gianluca
Thanks for this. I had already looked at the site you gave and found the RPM.
Much appreciated.
