I upgraded my SSH Server to Openssh 7.1p1 to overcome security vulnerabilities. But now my perl scripts using Net::SSH have stopped working and they give a Protocol Error as follow:

Protocol error: expected packet type 91, got 80 at /auto/share/perl/5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/SSH/Perl/Packet.pm line 222 /

Here is the complete debug trace:
