in reply to HMAC_MD5 with Net::SSH::Perl

Have you tried explicitly specifying your intended cipher when constructing the Net::SSH::Perl object?

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new(
    cipher => 'hmac-md5',
);

I interpret the documentation in the way that unless instructed to, the module will not use a weak cipher.

    I had tried that, it did not change the macs listed under the client. I added the solution to my question because I just found it.
