I am finding that apache environment lacks something that bash has to make an ssh request. The question is, is there any way to bring that something in, or do I have to run SSH/SFTP requests from shell?

I am running an sftp login with username and password using Net:::SFTP. Debug logs are identical from the shell and apache. The only differences are that

a) the one from Apache runs an order of magnitude slower (I wonder why?)
b) most importantly, it hangs at 

sftp: Sending SSH2_FXP_INIT

I have tried to do all I could to make the environment similar, but without knowing what to look for, didn’t hit the solution yet.

I am running apache 2.2.3, mod_perl 2.0.4, perl 5.8.8, Net::SFTP 0.10, OpenSSL 0.9.8 . No interesting parameters sent to Net::SFTP constructor, just debug.

Thanks for your help!

    I eventually found out that this is a result of STDIN, STDOUT being bound to filehandle objects instead of actual filehandles in modperl. This is the cause of the underlying problem.

    Pointing both to /dev/null fixes it. I still need to dig out a better solution than /dev/null, but this knowledge would have been sufficient to understand the problem in question.
