How can I ssh inside a Perl script?

Question

I want to SSH to a server and execute a simple command like \"id\" and get the output of it and store it to a file on my primary server. I do not have privileges to install

If you're using backticks try this:

my @output = `ssh root@1.1.1.1 "which perl"`;

print "output: @output";

This is only useful if you have a publickey that the above command won't prompt for password.
