Thanks for reporting, bit busy and will investigate later.

Do you know that you can use tempfile plus the openssh::Builder to override the ssh-config and specify the env within it?

While it's a stop-gap solution, it might be handy if you need it.

I know it. Unfortunately the env is different for every command :/

Hmmm seems that you would definitely need openssh support for this.

As an alternative, you can change command to be run to env, then pass env as A=B, then pass the original cmd and args.

I've been aware of this option. Overall it could be a solution. On the other hand I consider it as a huge, dreadful hack. At least doing it manually. It either requires me to write an additional wrapper around library, or perform these changes on every command execution. Both of these options are... I don't like them xD

I agree, I will investigate to see if there's better solution.
