More information needed. Your question is written badly.

#1: What's the script do?
#2: Can we get some code with that?
#3: You're doing a system("ssh -l $host $command")? Does the ssh -l $host $command work outside the script?
#4: What version of perl, and is it on Unix or Win32?
#5: What SSH? OpenSSH? Commercial? v1 or v2?
#6: What's the HTML interface, what's the code for it and how does it relate?
#7: Are you trying to use one script to call another script via ssh?
#8: Can you an exact error message? "65280" is kinda vague.
