I need to automate some commands on a load balancer that allow me to get a couple levels deep to the right vendor shell. This involves telling the appliance to go into bash and then to run another tmos shell. Manually it looks like this: 

-bash-4.1$ ssh 10.10.10.1
Password: 
Last login: Tue Sep 10 22:01:12 2013 from 10.10.10.1
bp>!bash
[kburns@ssl01:Active] ~ #

The module seems to hang after attempting to run the !bash command. Here is the code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::OpenSSH;

my $host = "10.10.10.1";
my $USERNAME = "kburns";
my $PASSWORD = "xxxx";

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, user => $USERNAME, password => $PAS
+SWORD, strict_mode => 0);
$ssh->error and die "Couldn't establish SSH connection: " . $ssh->erro
+r;

$ssh->system({quote_args => 0}, "!bash") or die "remote command failed
+: " . $ssh->error;

print "finished bash\n"; #never gets here. it hangs

$ssh->system({stdin_data => \@output}, "ls") or die "remote command fa
+iled: " . $ssh->error;

foreach $line (@output)
        {
        print "$line\n";
        }
