# Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache(3pm)

cache and reuse SSH connections transparently

## NAME

Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache - cache and reuse SSH connections transparently

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Net::OpenSSH;
  use Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache;
  for (1..10) {
    my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host);
    $ssh->system("$cmd $_");
  }
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module installs a `$Net::OpenSSH::FACTORY` hook implementing a SSH connection caching scheme.

`$Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::MAX_SIZE` controls the cache size. Once as many connections are allocated, the module will try to free any of them before allocating a new one.

The function `"clean_cache"` makes the module forget (and close) all the cached connections:

```
  Net::OpenSSH::ConnectionCache::clean_cache();
```
