Being itself written in perl, psh can also be used under Microsoft Windows (with or without Cygwin or Interix) and other operating systems. Packages are available for Linux distributions like Gentoo and Ubuntu, though on most systems it can be installed by simply issuing the following command:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Psh'
