NAME

App::Myinst - Implements very limited features of a legendary command-line tool at an iconic internet company.

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

The user of this module is expected to create a small driver script like this:

$ vi myinst.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use App::Myinst;

App::Myinst->run();

and run with options.

Usage: ./myinst.pl <command> -h host1,host2 -j 4 "<remote_command>" Implements very limited features of a legendary command-line tool at an iconic internet company.

<command>           command to myinst.  currently, only "ssh" is supported
-h                  hostname, can be a comma-separated list with username like user@host
-H                  specify a file with hostnames in it
-j                  number of jobs to execute in parallel.  default: 1
-f                  flag to save output in a file per host.  default: cwd
-dir                if -f is specified, you may specify the output directory
-d                  debug mode
<remote_command>    the command to run on the remote hosts

Note on testing: This module wraps around ssh and as such, requires authentication. I have included an interactive test_deeply.pl script for those interested in testing.
