$ssh2->auth_password($login{user}, $login{password});

We first need to establish exactly where you're script is failing.
I suspect that authorization might be the problem.
Instead do: 
$ssh2->auth_password($login{user}, $login{password})
 or die "Auth failed";

$ssh2->auth_ok();

The value returned by that expression will tell you whether you are authorized or not - but you haven't checked that value.
You'd normally check that value: 
$ssh2->auth_ok() or die "Not authorized";

On Srawberry Perl, I'm finding that auth_password won't work now that I've got public key authorization set up. (Not sure if that's "just me", or "just windows", or "just the way it's supposed to be".)
So, if the user you're connecting as has public key authorization set up, you might need to authorize using auth_publickey. Here's the script I'm using with Strawberry Perl 5.28.0 on Windows 7, to channel into a local Ubuntu box: 
use warnings;
use Net::SSH2;
use strict;

my @output;
my $ssh = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh->connect("host") or die "Unable to connect host\n";

# auth_password no longer working for me 
# $ssh->auth_password("user", "password")
#   or die "Failed to auth\n";

# using auth_publickey works
$ssh->auth_publickey(
 "user",
 "C:\\cygwin\\home\\user\\.ssh\\id_rsa.pub",
 "C:\\cygwin\\home\\user\\.ssh\\id_rsa",
 0)
 or die "Auth failed";

die "Not authenticated"
 unless $ssh->auth_ok; # Double checking

my $channel = $ssh->channel()
 or die "Channel creation failed\n";

$channel->blocking(1);
$channel->exec("ls ~");
while (<$channel>) {push @output, $_}
print scalar @output, "\n"; # See no. of entries
print for @output;

Works fine for me - but doesn't necessarily help you ;-)

UPDATE: I also have SSH access to a remote machine via the internet, and this access requires auth_password authorization (as public key authorization has not been set up).
The above script also works fine for it, once I switch from using auth_publickey to auth_password.

Cheers,
Rob
