Net::SS...XSHA256(3)

💖 Net::SS...XSHA256(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to another page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection 🌸 this one is the manual for Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEXSHA256 and it is short but it is mighty, so grab a boba and let's go ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEXSHA256 — Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange using SHA256 hashing.

that's it. that's the whole pitch. she does Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange and she does it with SHA256 hashing 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually summon her, copied character for character because we do not freestyle code:

use Net::SSH::Perl::Kex;
my $kex = Net::SSH::Perl::Kex->new;
my $dh = bless $kex, 'Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEX256';

$dh->exchange;

yes the bless target in the synopsis reads Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEX256 while the module itself is Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEXSHA256. we are reporting, not editing. verbatim, always, periodt 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DHGEXSHA256 implements Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange with SHA256 hashing for Net::SSH::Perl. 🌈

and the lore? she's a subclass of Net::SSH::Perl::Kex. so she inherits the whole family vibe, but she's the one holding the SHA256 hashing, no cap. main character energy fr fr 👑

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

bestie. the docs themselves had a little oopsie and the tooling is calling it out, explained below:

Around line 48:

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

so the E<...> formatting code got fed something it didn't vibe with, and now it's living in the error log forever. iconic in a tragic way 😭 not us being messy in our own manpage 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! she's small, she's a subclass, she does Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange with SHA256 hashing, and she's free as Perl itself. mwah 💖
