Hi waytoperl,

What does 'show clock' command do? If it is screen-based command then you have to force the pseudo-terminal creation like this (not tested, Net::OpenSSH is not installed on my box):

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new("$host", user => "$user", passwd => "$pass
+wd", timeout => 90, tty => 1 );

You can read ssh for the details:

   -t         Force pseudo-tty allocation.  This    can be used to exe
+cute arbi-
         trary screen-based    programs on a remote machine, which can
+    be
         very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services.     Multip
+le -t
         options force tty allocation, even    if ssh has no local tty
+.
