Help needed with Net::SSH::Perl and Net::SFTP

So I took these two over a while ago, because I had some fixes I wanted to make to them, and the original author wasn't really developing them any more.

Since that foolish decision, I've been deluged with bug reports. Unfortunately, I really am not much of an expert on these protocols. But the part that's really killing me is that there's no good test suite for the modules, so I'm extremely reluctant to change them. It's really hard to make internals changes, much less API changes which should be backwards compatible, without a good test suite.

So if anyone is looking for a project and wants to write a test suite for these, please let me know ;)

I have some ideas on how to do it, but I'm severely lacking in tuits.
