SYNOPSIS

use Rex::Inline;

my $rex_inline = Rex::Inline->new(
  use_debug => 0
  # now you can set default authentication
  user => $user,              # optional
  password => $password,      # optional
  public_key => $public_key,  # optional
  private_key => $private_key,# optional
);

# add default authentication 
# if you didn't provide authentication in your task, Rex::Inline will use this as default one
# or if your authentication is failed, Rex::Inline will use this retry the ssh connection
$rex_inline->add_auth({
  user => $user,
  password => $password,
  sudo => TRUE,
});
$rex_inline->add_auth({
  user => $user,
  public_key => $public_key,
  private_key => $private_key,
});

# data reference like this
$rex_inline->add_task(
  {
    name => 'something_uniq_string',  # name is required when add data_reference task
    func => sub {                     # func is required when add data_reference task
      ...
    },
    user => $user,
    server => [@server],
    # if need password
    password => $password,
    # optional
    public_key => $public_key,
    private_key => $private_key,
  }
);

# or Rex::Inline::Test is based on Rex::Inline::Base module
# See Rex::Inline::Base Documents
$rex_inline->add_task(
  Rex::Inline::Test->new(
    user => $user,

    public_key => $public_key,
    private_key => $private_key,
    # input param, in any format you want
