Check out this sniglet of code: 

foreach my $host (@hosts) {
    my $scpe = Net::SCP::Expect->new(
        host     => $host,
        # user     => $user,
        # password => $password,
        compress => 1,
        auto_yes => 1,
        no_check => 1,
        debug=>1,
        timeout  => 120
    );

        $scpe->login($user,$password);
    printf "Copying files to %s:\n", $host;
    foreach my $file (@files) {
        printf "\t%s....", $file;
        my $remote=sprintf("%s\@%s:/tmp",$user,$host);
        printf "%s..",$remote;
        $scpe->scp( $file, $remote);
        printf "\r";
    }
}

I realize that debug is a bogus parameter but the code is failing with a timeout at the scp line after about 10 seconds. (or less)

Is there a way around this issue? Should I abandon Net::SCP::Expect? Any thoughts?
