Net::SS...::DHGEX(3)

💖 Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEX 💖

okay bestie, this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, section 3 of the manual — so like, it lives in the Perl pod world, not the core Unix one. And it's giving very specific niche nerd energy, which honestly? obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEX — the Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange Base Class. no cap, that's literally the whole job description. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

use Net::SSH::Perl::Kex;
my $kex = Net::SSH::Perl::Kex->new;
my $dh = bless $kex, 'Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEXSHA256';

$dh->exchange;

the way that last line just... does the exchange? main character behavior honestly. 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like. Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEX implements Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange for Net::SSH::Perl. that's the whole personality. 🔥

and plot twist — it's a subclass of Net::SSH::Perl::Kex. so it inherits from the parent and then goes off and does its own little DHGEX thing. family lineage but make it ✨cryptographic✨.

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

ngl bestie, the document itself had some coding errors and the pod checker is calling it out. here's the tea:

Around line 183:

• Unknown E content in E<lkinley@loyaltymethods.com>

so like... yeah. the E<...> formatting thing got fed something it didn't vibe with. not me being the messenger 😭

and that's the whole page, diva. this beauty comes to you from perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-01-17, and it's filed under Net::SS...::DHGEX(3) — go forth and exchange those groups, bestie, iykyk 💅✨🌸
