in thread Usage of key authentication with Net::SSH::Any

Just an idea coming in my mind. When I connect with Putty (or bitvise), it asks to add the server fingerprint in the cache/registry. I chose "yes and save" in bitvise but Putty asked that too. So I guess this "cache"/"registry" may not be shared between different applications.
Could it be related to my issue?

    No, unless you are using the development (git) versions of Net::SSH::Any, Net::SSH2 and libssh2.

    The stable version of Net::SSH2 does not validate the host key, which BTW is probably and unacceptable security issue.
