--- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Few notes:

(1) If you need IO::Pty, then requiring IO::Tty is wrong. You need to require
IO::Pty.

(2) The dependency on IO::Pty is weak because it's optional according to
Net-OpenSSH author, see README:

  DEPENDENCIES

  This module requires these other modules and libraries:

  Test::More
  IO::Pty (optional, required for password authentication)

We can change it Fedora, but that won't change user experience for people
installing it from CPAN. If you write a code that rely on presence of module,
you will still have to specify the dependency in your code metadata.

Could you please provide a code that triggers the need for IO::Pty?

(3) The IO::Pty is not the only optional module. There more of them:

lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:917:        _load_module('IO::Pty');
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:1497:            _load_module('IO::Pty');
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:1646:        _load_module('Encode');
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:2317:    _load_module('Net::SFTP::Foreign', '1.47');
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:2392:    _load_module('Object::Remote') or return;
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:2393:    _load_module('Net::OpenSSH::ObjectRemote') or
return;
lib/Net/OpenSSH.pm:2400:    _load_module('Net::SSH::Any');

Do you think we should turn all of them into a hard dependency?
